Humano
Okills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dormir despierto y soñar sin pensar.
Tener nieve que se pueda calentar
y una casa que tenga vista hacia el mar
en el desierto
pero no es cierto.
Tenerte cerca sólo para hablar
y transformar el aire en opcional.
una especie de animal disfuncional
sirve de nada
y para nada.
No, no, no, no.
No, señor.
Y vivir en la nada.
No, no, no, no.
No, señor.
Siempre sobre la almohada.
Caminar, sin andar
y subir, sin bajar
es vivir, sin morir
es soñar, es soñar.
Quiero volar en dirección al sol
llevarle un vaso de agua y un marrón.
Juntos desde allá cantar una canción
una de esas como las de Héctor Lavoe
para la tierra
y ver qué bella.
No, no, no, no.
No, señor.
Y vivir en la nada.
No, no, no, no.
No, señor.
Siempre sobre la almohada.
Caminar, sin andar
y subir, sin bajar
es vivir, sin morir
es soñar, es soñar.
Caminar, sin andar
y subir, sin bajar
es vivir, sin morir
es soñar, es soñar.
The lyrics to Okills's song Humano reflect a desire for a simpler, more peaceful existence. The first stanza expresses a longing to pause time and spend the night in a state of sleepless dreaming. The singer speaks of wanting snow that can be warmed up, and a home with a view of the sea, possibly in a desert setting. However, this desire is juxtaposed with the acknowledgment that it is not a reality. The singer desires to be close to someone just to talk and transform the air into something optional. The second stanza speaks of the human species as being "disfunctional" and serving no real purpose. The chorus repeats the phrase "No, no, no, no" followed by "Siempre sobre la almohada" which translates to "Always on the pillow," conveying a sense of being stuck or stagnant.
The bridge section of the song speaks of wanting to fly towards the sun with a glass of water and a brown object (possibly meaning a musical instrument). The goal is to sing a song with the likes of Hector Lavoe for the earth to see its beauty.
Overall, the song's lyrics have a dream-like quality, expressing a desire for a kind of peaceful existence that may be difficult to achieve in the world as it is. The lyrics also raise questions about the nature and purpose of humanity.
