La puerta
Santiago Cruz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque sé muy bien lo que guardado allí
Es parte de mí
Se ve una luz que resplandece y por la estrella niña
Donde el aire pasa a revolcar la sal
La agita y se va
Me acerco un poco como si quisiera entrar, a quién engaño
Hoy tampoco soy capaz
Al otro lado de la puerta
Me arde la piel y pierdo la cabeza
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
Vuelve la sed y el miedo me da vueltas
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
Hay días donde todo es claro y esa vieja puerta
No es más que una puerta tras de la que guardo
Una parte de mí
Y hay días que me rompo el alma, siento que me llamas
Se hace tan difícil no querer cruzarla
Un paso y ya está
Algunas veces basta con girar
Darle la espalda y no mirar atrás
A quién engaño, hoy tampoco soy capaz
Al otro lado de la puerta
Me arde la piel y pierdo la cabeza
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
Vuelve la sed, y el miedo me da vueltas
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
Al otro lado de la puerta
Me arde la piel y pierdo la cabeza
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
Vuelve la sed, y el miedo me da vueltas
Cuesta una vida entera regresar
Al otro lado de la puerta
In Santiago Cruz's song "La Puerta," the singer reflects on a door that separates him from a part of himself that he hides away. He admits that he only glances at the door, never staring at it directly, because he knows that what is kept behind it is a part of him that he is not ready to confront. The singer describes how sometimes he musters up the courage to approach the door, as if he wants to enter, only to realize that he cannot cross the threshold.
He also reveals how there are days when he feels strong enough to face what is behind the door, and the door no longer seems like an obstacle. However, on other days, the door feels like an insurmountable obstacle that he cannot face, and he feels the pull towards it but cannot overcome the fear and hesitation that it causes him. The lyrics express the struggle of confronting one's self and coming to terms with all aspects of one's identity, even the hidden and challenging ones.
Overall, "La Puerta" is a deeply introspective song that speaks to the human condition of hiding or denying parts of oneself. It is a reminder that sometimes one must confront their inner demons, but it is not an easy process, and it may take a lifetime to learn and grow.
