Tic tac
Miguel Bosé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tienes mi alma rota en un saco
Tienes lo que me falta, lo tienes
Vives del aire que te conviene
Pasas de largo, siembras misterio
Lo que tú tienes nadie lo tiene
De repente
Vuelvo a tu clima, nado en tus olas
Vuelvo te traigo nuevas promesas
Vuelvo a la orilla, arribo a tus brazos
Sabes del ansia de mi deseo
Cuánta es la urgencia de mi delito
Dónde amanece el sol en mi cama
Casi siempre
Algo descubro, algo que se haré inquietante
Hacia la pena galopa tu mirada
Casi apagada tu soledad elegante
Con el tiempo acierto las palabras
Pasa el tiempo rodando por la calma
El tiempo que haré tic tac
No se para tic tac
Corre vuela tic tac
Oigo sólo tic tac
Tiempo suena tic tac
Suena sólo tic tac
Cuenta atrás tic tac
Tengo tu corazón en un puño
Tengo tu alma rota en un saco
Ahora sí tengo lo que te falta
Tengo la brisa de tus andares
Dame tu aliento, empuja mis velas
Mueves el aire yo te respiró
De repente
Inesperadamente el viento te lleva
Hacia la pena galopa tu mirada
Casi apagada tu soledad elegante
Con el tiempo acierto las palabras
Pasa el tiempo rodando por la calma
El tiempo que haré tic tac
No se para tic tac
Corre vuela tic tac
Oigo sólo tic tac
Tiempo suena tic tac
Suena sólo tic tac
Cuenta atrás tic tac
Tengo tu corazón en un puño
Tengo tu alma rota en un saco
Ahora sí tengo lo que te falta.
Tengo la brisa de tus andares
Dame tu aliento, empuja mis velas
Mueves el aire yo te respiró
Te respiro
The lyrics of "Tic Tac" by Miguel Bose speak about a complicated and intense romantic relationship. The first verse talks about how the person has the singer's heart in their hand, and their soul is crushed, indicating a sense of vulnerability and emotional dependence. The next section mentions how this person has something that the singer lacks, and they live by their own rules and create mystery around themselves. The singer alludes to the fact that they can't escape the power that the person has over them and keep coming back to them, despite the drama and confusion they create.
The second verse continues the theme of being drawn back to this person despite the complications. Still, this time, Bose mentions discovering something unsettling about the person as they are drawn towards them. He notes the person's eyes fill with sadness, and they have an elegant loneliness that seems almost extinguished. But the singer is determined to find the right words to express his feelings as time passes, and the tension continues to build.
Overall, "Tic Tac" explores a passionate, sometimes destructive relationship that is difficult to resist, despite the pain it causes. The chords for the song are not available at the moment.
