Tráfico
Ray Coyote Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y todo lo que no será
todo lo que lleva el viento
cargado de información
todo lo que sabe de quién soy
nadie que pudiera no saber
no me preocupa que en las calles haya tantos secretos de voz en voz
somos millones que aquí en la cabeza la misma pregunta que tú
dando la vuelta
Todo lo que soy y todo lo que no será
en los cantos de las águilas
y en todo el código animal
y a saber de mí
sólo por tenerte a ti
no cambiaba nada de todo lo que es
y todo lo que no será
Y ser sobreviviente
del tráfico de las mentes
y ya
no se vende
por todo lo que dicen del diablo
y todo lo que digan del dinero y ya.
El sendero entero de la vida lo quiero contigo
el sendero entero de la vida lo quiero junto a ti dando vuelta.
The lyrics to Ray Coyote's song Tráfico delve deep into the complexities of human existence and the search for personal identity. The opening lines reflect the unpredictability of life, with everything that has been and everything that is yet to come being carried away by the wind, filled with information. The singer seems at peace with the fact that they are a part of this unfathomable force of nature, and that their identity is known to everyone, even if they are just a voice in the crowd. The secret whispers of the streets no longer bother them as they have accepted their place in the world.
Moving on to the chorus, the lyrics take a more universal turn in questioning the purpose of existence. The singer acknowledges the fact that they are not alone in this search for wisdom and meaning, as millions of others share their quest. The repetition of the line "dando la vuelta" could be interpreted in different ways, but it may suggest that the answer to the question they all seek is in constant motion, elusive yet ever-present.
The third verse stands out as a declaration of independence from the traps of the mind and the constant pursuit of wealth. The singer has survived the "trafficking" of the mind, suggesting that they have overcome their own mental struggles and perspectives to become a stronger, more resilient person. They cherish the idea that their love for someone is enough to know who they are, without needing the validation of external sources. The final line of the verse is a powerful statement against societal norms, as they refuse to sell out for either the devil or money.
Overall, the song Tráfico takes the listener on a poignant journey of self-discovery and the search for knowledge. The lyrics are introspective and relatable, and the repetitive chorus adds a sense of solidarity in the face of adversity.
