Dos Gotas
Pereza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me vale la pena marear
Sangrar, decir, averiar, hacer el torpe
O me da por preguntar
De dónde he salido y qué valdrá
Marcharme lejos, cambiarlo todo por un monte
Quizás seas tú
Quizá el fruto de un reventón
Quizá lo perro que me vuelvo por la noche
Quizá sea yo, quizá el temor
Quizá el cariño al Rock'n'Roll
O las historias que nos llevan al reproche
Me asusto y corro a pedir perdón
Me pone malo esta situación
Por que siempre al final algo falla
Nos vino a visitar la cruda realidad
Entró sin llamar
Me conformo con bailar
Un rato con la felicidad
Cantarle un blues, meterle mano
Que me de un toque
Empezar a asimilar lo raro que es todo si no estás
Andar así no hay bicho humano que lo enfoque
Quizás seas tú
Quizá el control
Quizá el fruto de un reventón
Quizá lo perro que me vuelvo por la noche
Quizá sea yo, quizá el temor
Quizá el cariño al Rock'n'Roll
O las historias que nos llevan al reproche
Me asusto y corro a pedir perdón
Me pone malo esta situación
Por que siempre al final algo falla
Lo cambio todo y lo hago de un tirón
Lío una vez más, pero al final
Me asusto y corro a pedir perdón
Me pone malo esta situación
Por que siempre al final algo falla
Nos vino a visitar la cruda realidad,
Entró sin llamar
Dos gotas se caen al mar
Una flota, la otra se ahoga
Las dos tiemblan no por igual
Se fue su par, pensó: "that's life"
Me asusto y corro a pedir perdón
Me pone malo esta situación
Por que siempre al final algo falla
Nos vino a visitar la cruda realidad
Entró sin llamar
The song “Dos Gotas” by Pereza is a beautiful and introspective ballad that opens with the line “Me dispongo a despegar”, meaning “I am preparing to take off”. The mood is immediately set for a song about change and the unknown, as the lyrics continue to explore the themes of uncertainty, fear, regret, and perseverance. The singer is willing to face the consequences of his actions, even if it means making mistakes and “doing the fool”. He also questions the nature of his existence and his worth, longing to start anew and leaving everything behind.
The chorus of the song is particularly striking, as the singer repeats the line “Quizás seas tú, quizá el control, quizá el fruto de un reventón”, meaning “Perhaps it’s you, perhaps it’s the control, perhaps it’s the outcome of a blowout”. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and ambiguity, as the singer tries to make sense of his life and his relationship with someone or something that is beyond his grasp. At times, the lyrics also suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer recognizes that life is unpredictable and that sometimes we have to let go.
The song reaches its climax with the lines “Dos gotas se caen al mar, una flota, la otra se ahoga”, which means “Two drops fall into the sea, one floats, the other sinks”. This image seems to symbolize the fragility of life and the randomness of fate, as even the smallest things can have a profound impact on the course of our lives.
