Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo ideal contra lo real
Fui leal pero sufrí el mal de un entorno bárbaro
Saque secretos de un baúl y el sentido común
Me dijo guárdalos o habrá un escándalo
La cruz que llevo pesa y mis heridas se abren
Presas del desprecio tras caras amables
Cadáveres dispuestos a escupirme
Por no callar, ni llevar collar que rodee mi cuello
Por no ser frágil, ni dócil, ni imbécil
Soy un peligro en potencia, ¿No?
No tengo fusil, ni huzi, ni un misil
Solo mi voz, mi conciencia
Solo veo Handicaps
Dificultades, deseos extintos
La ciudad es un laberinto de muros brutales
Tiempos en el limbo, no invoco a dioses
Que cambien las circunstancias
Nadie soluciona sus problemas, es mas
Se los crean a los demás
Y así equilibran su desgracia
Sueñan con sirenas y damas de aristocracia
Pero viven entre sirenas de policía y ambulancias
No se dan cuenta que la cosa es obvia
Que mientras se odian, se abren las grietas en su memoria
Que son marionetas, sujetas, viviendo en la inopia
Que hacen piruetas, sobre una ruleta, una noria
Arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo
Sin mas historia, sin vida propia
Sordos como una tapia, ciegos como murciélagos
Nadando en cien lagos, sin luz, sin magia
Demasiados no es, tantos no puedo
Cuantos "no saldrá bien", pasados corroen
Llantos y mil miedos, ¿Cuantos no son nadie?
Quieren lo tuyo, lo suyo y lo que no existe
Metidos en trullas, cárceles, joyas, anillos y apariencia
Es triste, te quieren así, quieto en una silla o de rodillas
Mientras te rodean, me mancillan
Te moldean como arcilla
La pesadilla de un niño que sufre bullying
No es comparable a la de un niño que sufre de in-admisión
Uno sufre un trauma... Otro su propia desaparición
Solo veo Handicaps, rodeados de maquinas, vidas estáticas
Quieren gozar sobre un sofá, rozar la "eternity"
Viajar "so far away" y ser "celebrities"
Siempre huir, siempre un paraíso esperando en un mundo que nunca se alcanza
Siempre un "a lo mejor", un "mañana mejor", una falsa esperanza-
Sin ver la belleza que hay delante
Ahora, siéntela, siéntate y siéntete
Te has olvidado de ser, simplemente, ser
The lyrics to NACH's song "Handicaps" dive deep into the contrast between the ideal and the real, the struggles and challenges faced in life, and the pressures to conform to societal expectations. The song conveys a sense of resilience and defiance against the limitations and handicaps imposed by society.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's experiences, as they navigate through a world that is often harsh and cruel. They express the weight of carrying personal burdens and the pain of being misunderstood, even by those who appear friendly on the surface. The singer is seen as a threat because they refuse to conform, refusing to be fragile, docile, or foolish. Instead, they embrace their own voice and consciousness, seeing through the handicaps and difficulties that surround them.
The song also highlights the disconnect between dreams and reality. It criticizes the tendency to create problems for others rather than solving one's own. The lyrics evoke a sense of resignation to the fact that many people fail to realize the obvious truths: the cracks in their own memories, their own puppet-like existence, and their constant search for external fulfillment without appreciating the beauty that lies before them.
Overall, "Handicaps" is a powerful reflection on the struggles and challenges faced in life, staying true to oneself amidst societal pressures, and the importance of being present and embracing one's own existence.
