La Metamorfosis
Pumuky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Todo lo que tengo lo quemaré.
Si me abrazo al fuego podré romper esta costra helada que corre por mi piel.
Si no siento nada, no hay razón para seguir.
Todos esos libros y esos discos arderán.
Esa ropa y esas cartas irán detrás.
En lo alto de la pira mis amigos me saludan.
Y mis padres, mis hermanos y tú, me sonreís.
Y cuando empiece a llover ceniza sentiré un desgarro extasiado.

Sangraré.
Ahora que os pierdo, ahora sé que os amé.
Y levantaos de esa mancha negra.
Ahora venid, curemos nuestras heridas.

Es que aprendí que todos merecemos otra oportunidad.
Otra oportunidad, otra oportunidad, otra oportunidad.

The lyrics to Pumuky's song "La Metamorfosis" describe a transformation from a cold, unfeeling state to a fiery passion for life. The singer expresses a desire to burn everything they own in order to break free from their frozen shell. They declare that without feeling anything, there is no reason to keep going. The burning of everything they own, including books, records, clothes, and letters, becomes a symbolic act of purification and a way to make a fresh start.

The image of the singer's friends, family, and loved ones watching from the top of the pyre adds a sense of finality to the act of burning everything. The singer acknowledges that they will miss these people once they are gone, but the cathartic release they feel in that moment is worth it. The final lines of the song express a desire for everyone to come together and heal their wounds, to give each other another chance at life.

Overall, "La Metamorfosis" is a powerful exploration of the human desire for transformation and renewal, even if that means letting go of everything we know and love. It is a song about finding the courage to start over and the hope that lies in the possibility of a new beginning.
