Escalera
Monocordio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siempre vuelvo a mí
el río busca el mar, cuando no estás aquí

Puede ser que al final del cambio de estación
yo te busque en el mar

Y aún estoy aquí, pero algo no es igual
el aire se transformó en algo que ahora es sin forma

Y en ésa densidad, yo soy parte del mar
no soy la ola, soy el agua en tu encima está

Siempre vuelvo a mí
el río busca el mar, cuando no estás aquí





Puede ser que al final del cambio de estación
yo te busque en el mar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Monocordio's song "Escalera" describe a person who is feeling a sense of loss and emptiness in the absence of their loved one. The first line, "Siempre vuelvo a mí" (I always come back to myself), suggests a feeling of solitude and introspection. The metaphor of the river searching for the sea when the loved one is not present highlights the longing and desire for their return.


As the song progresses, the singer speaks of searching for their loved one in the sea at the changing of seasons. However, the atmosphere has changed and "el aire se transformó en algo que ahora es sin forma" (the air has transformed into something that is now formless). This line can be interpreted as the emotional environment becoming disorienting and unclear, making it difficult to find the loved one.


But even in this state, the singer realizes that they are still part of the sea, existing as a part of a larger entity. They are not just an individual wave, but rather the water that supports their loved one. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and searching for something that is missing, but also an understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
