Saiko Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Grite de frio en la calle quien eres
y porque simulas que olvidas

Cuando salgo enloquecida a la calle
me voy directo y raudo a la esquina
miro el diario desde otra vida
voy a contarles la mia

Cuando salgo enloquecida a la calle
me voy directo y raudo a la esquina
al menos veo que escuchan radio
estan hablando de sus vidas

Me voy corriendo
miles de mires de horas
solo contigo en la tele
paso revista a todos
quieren contarme la vida
miles de miles de horas que
hemos perdido juntos
ansiosos gestos pasos idos

Cuando salgo enloquecida a la calle
me voy directo y raudo a la esquina
al menos veo que escuchan radio
estan hablando de sus vidas+

Estoy huyendo
miles de mires de horas
solo contigo en la tele
paso revista a todos
quieren contarme la vida
miles de miles de horas que
hemos perdido juntos
ansiosos gestos pasos idos

Grito de frio en la calle
estamos locos tan locos
y grito de frio quienes somos
y seguimos soñando

Miles de mires de horas
solo contigo en la tele
paso revista a todos
quieren contarme la vida
miles de miles de horas que
hemos perdido juntos
ansiosos gestos pasos idos

Cuando salgo a la calle
voy directo a la esquina
miro el diario desde otra vida

Grite grite de frio

quien eres
y otra vez el mismo cuento

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Saiko's song "El Cuento" speak of an atypical daily routine. The singer appears to be someone who frequently goes out to the street "enloquecida" or crazed, seeking an escape from reality. They run to the corner to see the newspaper and to satisfy their curiosity about other people's lives. They take note of the radio conversations, as if they were eavesdropping on the characters' stories. They also seem to be running away from something or someone, a never-ending cycle of losing time.

The recurring question "quien eres" or "who are you" suggests that the singer is struggling with their identity and perhaps trying to understand their purpose. The constant repetition of "miles de mires de horas" or "thousands of hours" shows the endless amount of time wasted - on TV, on the street, and on other people's stories. The line "y seguimos soñando" or "and we keep dreaming" suggests that despite the chaos and confusion, the singer still clings onto hope.

Overall, the song appears to be a commentary on society's obsession with the mundane and frivolous. It highlights how we often seek temporary distractions from our own problems by observing others' lives, but in the end, we only end up losing more time and feeling more lost.
