poco a poco
Sauze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tu ambición aun mas allá
empujarla al punto donde no hay
camino de vuelta.
Loco por desdibujar
la mentira en la verdad
esconder carencias que te harán
Sin perder más tiempo
sin malgastar aliento
maquillando cada realidad.
Poco a poco, mal por mal
aprendiste a barajar
sin guardar telas en el cajón
Poco a poco, mal por mal
renunciaste a protestar
respetando el turno de actuación.
Sin perder más tiempo
sin malgastar aliento
maquillando cada realidad
Sin querer reconocerlo
fue el peor de los remedios
hacer todo aun que no esta
que no esta.
The lyrics to Sauze's song "Poco a Poco" seem to deal with the concept of ambition and the lengths that some people will go to achieve their goals. The singer describes feeling "loco," or crazy, about pushing ambition to the point of no return, where there is no turning back. This theme of ambition is further explored in the line "loco por desdibujar la mentira en la verdad," which suggests a willingness to blur the lines between what is true and what is false in order to succeed.
However, the song also explores the possible downsides of this ambition. The singer warns about "esconder carencias," or hiding one's shortcomings, that will eventually lead to closing all doors. The phrase "sin querer reconocerlo, fue el peor de los remedios" suggests that the singer may have taken on too much at the expense of recognizing their own limits, resulting in a bitter remedy. The repetition of the phrase "poco a poco" throughout the song suggests that the singer is describing a gradual process, perhaps of someone becoming increasingly ambitious to the point of doing more harm than good.
Overall, the lyrics of "Poco a Poco" describe the pitfalls of ambition and the ways in which it can lead to a destructive cycle of constantly pushing oneself further and further until there is no turning back.
