Huracán
Puerquerama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y en mi lugar dejaré sentado a este maniquí
y no hay pretexto para no hacerlo, hoy me voy por fin
les dejo todas mis prestaciones del infonavit
y es que la tarde era tan linda, tan soleada, tan distinta
que esta vez ya no lo pude resistir
y es que adentro en la cabeza vive en mí un huracán
… no perdona si le hago esperar
no dejaré que mi vida se vaya sin avisar
olvídate, escápate, búrlate de la patronal
que para ellos eres solamente un engrane más
y es que el mundo espera afuera y la angustia se me va
si me corto y me salgo a caminar
y es que adentro en la cabeza vive en mí un huracán
… no perdona si le hago esperar
y es que la tarde era tan linda, tan soleada, tan distinta
que esta vez ya no lo pude resistir
y es que adentro en la cabeza vive en mí un huracán
… no perdona si le hago esperar
The lyrics of Puerquerama's song Huracán speak about the singer's desire to escape from their mundane routine and live life on their own terms, even if it means leaving their job and abandoning their responsibilities. The first verse sets the scene, as the singer decides to leave work behind and leave a mannequin in their place. They don't feel any guilt about doing so, as they are finally able to act on their impulse to leave. The second verse speaks of the anger the singer has towards their workplace and how they feel they are just another cog in the machine, an unimportant gear in the system. The chorus repeats the phrase "and inside my head lives a hurricane... it doesn't forgive if I keep it waiting" emphasizing the urgency and intensity of the singer's desire to escape.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the pressures of modern life and the need to break free from the constraints of society. The hurricane in the singer's head could represent suppressed emotions that they feel compelled to unleash by escaping from their day-to-day life. The song encourages listeners to take control of their lives and not let others dictate their actions.
