Fiebre
Presidente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Las fotonovelas no impresionan como antes
Sabes puedo regresar
Como un puñal que corta cada luz que está en el aire
Suena oscuro por las noches, cuando todo el mundo duerme, Fiebre Azul
Son paisajes ya muy viejos, la memoria no parece terminar
Ha de ser que estoy muy lejos
Cerrando el papel tapiz
Son más diferencias que las cosas que guardaste
Distinguido personal
Siento haber salido sin contrastes a la calle
The lyrics to Presidente's song "Fiebre" depict a sense of melancholy and reflection on the passage of time. The opening lines, "Estamos cerca del final, las fotonovelas no impresionan como antes" (We are close to the end, photo novels don't impress like before), suggest a realization of nearing the end of a particular period or phase in life. The reference to "fotonovelas" implies a nostalgic view of the past, where these visual storytelling mediums held more significance or impact.
The following lines, "Sabes puedo regresar, como un puñal que corta cada luz que está en el aire" (You know I can come back, like a knife that cuts through every light in the air), convey a desire to return to a previous state or the ability to make a powerful impact on the present, perhaps even causing disruption or change. The use of the metaphorical knife suggests a bold and decisive action that can affect the surrounding environment.
The song continues to delve into a sense of distance and disconnection, with the lyrics "Suena oscuro por las noches, cuando todo el mundo duerme, Fiebre Azul" (It sounds dark at night when everyone sleeps, Blue Fever). This line evokes a feeling of loneliness or isolation, where the blue fever metaphor signifies a sense of longing or yearning for something that is not easily attainable.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of fading landscapes and memories, with "Son paisajes ya muy viejos, la memoria no parece terminar, ha de ser que estoy muy lejos" (They are landscapes already very old, memories seem to have no end, it must be that I am very far away). This reflects the passing of time, as old landscapes fade away and memories seem endless. The final line conveys a sense of being distanced or disconnected from these experiences.
Overall, "Fiebre" showcases introspection, nostalgia, and the longing for something lost or unattainable. It explores themes of distance, the fleeting nature of time, and the realization of one's own place in the world.
