Visitantes
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ellos se pasan por aquí
Al llegar su día
Nunca se olvidan de regresar
Son mis fantasmas visitantes

Ellos son parte de mí

Mis amigos se quedaron
Para siempre en un arcén
Discutiendo con la oscuridad
Sobre daltonismo y velocidad

¿De que intentaban escapar esa noche?
¿De quién querían escapar
Con la luna de detrás?

Ellos me suelen evitar
El resto de los días

A veces se presentan sin avisar
Y me sonríen desde los posos del te
No sé a qué abismo intentaban escapar
Con el mundo detrás

Overall Meaning

Mikel Erentxun's song Visitantes speaks about the artist's ghosts and the memories associated with them. In the first few lines, he talks about these ghosts, who visit him in his thoughts constantly. These ghosts are his past, memories that he cannot forget, and they come back to him every time their day arrives. The song's title Visitantes (Visitors) seems to be about these ghosts who visit him, and he cannot get away from them.


He then goes on to say that these ghosts are a part of him, and he cannot forget them. They are his friends who are no longer with him and are resting in peace. However, these ghosts are deeply etched in his memory, and he cannot forget them. It seems that they are almost taking on a new life within him. Mikel sings about an incident in his past where he had an argument with his friends about being color blind and the speed at which cars were traveling. The artist speaks about how these ghosts and memories are still alive and well within him, even though they have passed on.


The lyrics also speak about how these ghosts avoid him on most days but sometimes appear without warning. They smile through the bottom of a cup of tea, and Mikel wonders what they were trying to escape and who they were trying to get away from. This song is a haunting reminder of people who have passed on but have left an indelible mark on the lives of those they left behind.
