Nena Daconte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sí le hago caso a la percepción
Me voy dando porrazos
Y la memoria no es más que una señal de luz
Un código binario en algún lugar
Lejos de aquí
Transformista, traicionera, conformista
Te mejora, te empeora, te condena
Con su peso, te atrapó con la melancolía
Y ahora estoy aquí pensando cosas que nunca dijiste
Hilando días en el calendario y hoy
Se pueden morir
De no ser por las fotos pensaría
Que no estuviste aquí jamás
Transformista, traicionera, conformista
Te recuerda, te reinventa, te mira como atenta
Te mejora, te empeora, te condena
Con su peso, te atrapó con la melancolía
Traicionera, conformista
Te recuerda, te reinventa, te mira como atenta
Te mejora, te empeora, te condena
Con su peso, te atrapó con la melancolía
Transformista, traicionera, conformista
Te recuerda, te reinventa, te mira como atenta
Te mejora, te empeora, te condena
Con su peso, te atrapó con la melancolía
The lyrics of "Memoria" by Nena Daconte explore the idea of memory and how it can both deceive and trap us. The singer reflects on a past relationship where she made mistakes and misjudged the other person. She acknowledges that her perception was flawed and that she ended up hurting herself. She then describes memory as nothing but a signal of light, a binary code far away from here. This suggests that memory is unreliable and can be manipulated. The chorus describes memory as a "transformist, traitor, and conformist" that remembers, reinvents, looks at you with attention, improves, worsens, condemns you, and traps you with melancholy. It's as if memory has a life of its own, and it can shape our view of the past in different ways. The singer laments about not remembering the things the other person said, and she feels trapped by the melancholy that memory brings.
Overall, "Memoria" is a reflection on the complexities of memory and how it influences our perception of the past. It highlights the power of memory to deceive and distort reality and how it can trap us in negative emotions such as melancholy.
