Revólver Plateado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escarba una hoguera
De huesos y signos
Que el diablo envenena
Tu tiempo imperdible
El hielo-el hielo que quema
Quemando las penas
Estas a mi lado?
Perdona mis quejas
Tu luna me llena
Tu río - tu río me lleva
Estando a tu lado
Recorro mis venas
Promesas de oro
La dulce condena
No es triste el silencio
El ruido - el ruido me quema
Ay ay amor
No no me dejes tanto
Solo quiero
Que mi corazón
Ya no haga trampas
Ay ay amor
Recuerda que mi corazón es viejo
Es igualito al sol pero de otro color
The lyrics of Revólver Plateado's song Escarba la Hogera ("Dig the Bonfire" in English) are filled with symbols and metaphors that create a mood of intensity and darkness. The first verse introduces an image of a dog digging a bonfire made of bones and signs that are poisoned by the devil. This sets the tone for the song, suggesting a world where evil forces are at play and where darkness rules. The second line of the verse adds to the imagery with the phrase "el hielo que quema" (the ice that burns), creating a paradox that adds to the sense of confusion and chaos.
The second verse contrasts the burning of sorrows with the idea of a museum of sand, a fragile and impermanent collection of memories. The singer asks if the listener is by their side, and apologizes for their complaints. The lines "tu luna me llena, tu río me lleva" (your moon fills me up, your river carries me away) suggest a sense of surrender to the power and influence of the other person. The third verse is more introspective, with the singer exploring their own feelings and desires. The idea of promises of gold and the "dulce condena" (sweet condemnation) suggests a bittersweet longing for something that may be unattainable. The final lines of the song suggest a desire for honesty and authenticity in love, with the singer acknowledging the age and limitations of their heart.
Overall, the lyrics of Escarba la Hogera paint a picture of a world where darkness and light, love and pain, joy and sorrow are all intertwined, creating a complex and emotional landscape.
