Plus Ultra
Pumuky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Justo ahí saltaremos
donde vigilan aquellos dragos.
Torres de luz sortearemos
como dementes vencejos
Y una corriente de aire caliente
nos alzará a gran velocidad
No tengas miedo al vacío
siempre ha estado contigo

conmigo
¿Ves esa playa de arena negra?
Allí el gentío ya nos espera
Querrá arrancarnos estos plumajes
O podemos seguir subiendo más
Donde el sol queme nuestra piel
y el aire no se pueda respirar
así nunca me dejarías de amar
así nunca te dejaría de desear.

Donde el sol queme nuestra piel
y el aire no se pueda respirar

así nunca me dejarías de amar
así nunca te dejaría de desear.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pumuky's song Plus Ultra describe a surreal journey, where the singer and their partner are about to jump off a cliff where the dragon trees keep watch. They will soar past towers of light like crazy swifts, lifted by hot blasts of air, with the promise of adventure and wonder. The lyrics speak of fearlessness in the face of the unknown, trusting that the void has always been a part of the singer's life, as well as their partner's. The two travelers arrive at a beach where a crowd awaits them, ready to pluck off their feathers - a possible reference to the unease of being exposed and vulnerable.

The lyrics then describe a choice: they could continue flying higher, where the sun will burn their skin, and the air will be hard to breathe. But this risk is worthwhile if they can continue to love each other without restraints, without ever being able to forget how it felt. The song captures a whimsical and romantic journey, where the travelers must face the unknown and the possibility of losing themselves in each other along the way. The lyrics employ surreal and fantastical imagery to convey the sense of imaginative freedom that this journey represents.
