Perdido en tu estación
Melocos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Donde aquella tarde
Perdí la cartera
Si fuiste tú
Quien me obligó
A olvidar la carretera
Lo que no se encuentra
Ni está en los libros
El camino de los sueños
Donde van las ilusiones
Y disfrutan, los ladrones
Donde la puta, es igual que la santa
Donde lloran las taquillas y los altavoces cantan
Fue donde cogí el tren
El que forja las almas
El que parte las fronteras
El que llega a su ventana
Donde muere la verdad
Y nace la realidad
Allí quedaron grabados
Pasos de idas y venidas
Los paseos de la droga
Los besos de despedida
Cuando atraviese este mundo
Y ya pierda la razón
Quiero pasar una noche...
Perdido en tu estación
Miro hacia atrás
Y un golpe de sol
Se queda en tus vías
Sol que me enseñó
Las alas del camino
De la alegría
Yo caminé
Hasta el banco donde
La Luna sentada
Me contó que en la penumbra
Están los destinos
De las voces, apagadas
Las que cogieron aquel tren
Una mañana
Y en el cajón del recuerdo
Archivaron sus batallas...
The lyrics of Melocos's song Perdido en tu estación describe a person who is lost in a train station, physically and emotionally. The first verse talks about how the person lost their wallet on the platform, maybe because they were distracted by someone, who is mentioned in the second verse. The lyrics suggest that this person is important to the singer as they made them forget where they were going, and helped them find something they couldn't find in books.
The following lines describe the train station as a place of dreams and illusions, where even "thieves" can enjoy themselves. This suggests that the station is a place where people come and go, sometimes leaving behind their problems and taking away dreams. The line "donde la puta es igual que la santa" means that in the station, everyone is equal, regardless of who they are or what they do. The station is described as a place where people come and go, where speakers sing and ticket booths cry.
The chorus of the song mentions the "soul-making train" that separates borders and takes the singer to a window where truth dies and reality is born. The next verses describe the different things that have happened or left behind in the station, such as the steps of people coming and going, and the goodbyes and kisses exchanged. The song ends with the desire to spend a night in the station, maybe because it's a place where the singer found something that they couldn't find anywhere else.
