Once Tiros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somos amigos de las almas enlatadas
Somos amigos del cabeza-profiláctico
Somos amigos de las minas estampadas
Somos ateos en un cielo que alguien nos robó

Somos muñecos que funcionan solo a cuerda
Somos la vida consumida como un calefón
Somos la guía espiritual de tus pupilas
Somos bujías sólo para este motor

Somos amigos del que te da golosinas
Somos astillas que salimos de un mismo cajón
Somos nosotros por decirlo de alguna manera
Somos los monos de esta selva que nos da calor

Somos cuchillos de palo en casa de herrero
Somos la lava de un volcán en erupción
Somos el número que te pega en los huevos
Somos canciones que no se hacen en ningún fogón

Somos amigos de las almas enlatadas
Somos amigos del cabeza-profiláctico
Somos amigos de las minas estampadas
Somos ateos en un cielo que alguien nos robó

Somos amígdalas de una garganta joven
No hay que hacerla, sino ser la revolución
Somos tormenta un sábado en Punta del Este
Somos la cumbia que pusiste por error

En este pequeño tablero de ajedrez,
¿Qué elegis ser?
Ser comido o comerte al Rey
Total a nadie le importa,
Mientras que en la mano tengan la torta

Cantamos para que puedas ver
Si somos lo que somos por algo es




Cantamos nuestro historial
Si somos lo que somos por algo será

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Once Tiros' "Cromosomos" speak to the idea of human connection and shared experiences. The song describes a group of friends who are linked by their experiences and personalities. The first verse talks about these friends as "friends of canned souls," meaning they are connected by their shared experiences of feeling trapped or stuck in their lives. The second verse describes these friends as "dolls that work only on a crank," suggesting that they are limited or constrained by outside forces.


The chorus repeats the phrase "we are friends of stamped mines," which can be interpreted as a reference to the idea of human labor being treated like machinery. The friends are described as "atheists in a sky someone stole from us," suggesting that they feel disconnected from or disillusioned with the idea of a higher power or afterlife.


The song is a call to action, urging listeners to see themselves as part of a larger movement of people trying to break free from the constraints of society. The lines "we are tonsils of a young throat / you don't have to make it, just be the revolution" are a call to action to listeners to take control of their lives and make a change.


Overall, "Cromosomos" is a song about human connection, shared experiences, and the power of collective action to effect change.
