Fugu
Pedro Aznar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Coro)
A milímetros de Dios, a milímetros del odio
A milímetros de vos, a milímetros del rojo
A milímetros del sol, a milímetros del polvo
Cortar, cortar, cortar lo que no da
Soltar tu globo de felicidad.

Pálidas rosas de hospital

Entre la niebla...
Cálidas cosas a olvidar.

En boca de un titán
Las rimas que invocan el mal.
Gritando la verdad incómoda y brutal.

(Coro) - Riff - (Coro)

Células blandas de habitar
Tiempo de siembra
Píldoras blancas de aguantar.

En boca de un titán
Las rimas que invocan el mal.
Gritando la verdad incómoda y brutal.

Overall Meaning

The song "Fugu" by Pedro Aznar expresses a sense of detachment and distance from the world and the people around the singer. The chorus describes being just millimeters away from important things: from God, from love, from the color red, from the sun, from dust. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the singer's feeling of being on the edge, always just about to reach what they need but never quite getting there. The last lines of the chorus suggest a desire to let go of what is holding the singer back and to release their "balloon of happiness."

The verses provide images of hospitals, fog, and pills that are associated with illness and pain. The lines "In the mouth of a titan / The rhymes that invoke evil" suggest a feeling of powerlessness in the face of some larger, malevolent force. The singer seems to be grappling with difficult truths that are uncomfortable to confront, but that they cannot ignore.

Overall, "Fugu" evokes a mood of introspection and a sense of being caught between different levels of reality, searching for freedom from fear and pain.
