Seefeel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
miro y veo hoy tus heridas rojas brillan más que el sol
Sueño de verte así
sin miedo hasta a mi
siempre envuelto de verdad
Ojos que no pueden ver tan alto
quiero andar correr tu misma suerte
ver y ser como vos
Sueño de verte asi
muero por vivir
siempre envuelto de tu amor
Nadie sale ileso de una guerra así
y si cae sin esperanza
tu vieja agonía va por más
Quien sabe quien sabe
que esta guerra siempre la gana el más debil
quien sabe quien sabe
que esta guerra fue y esta ganada de antemano
quien sabe
Caminar firme y voy descalso
ni se donde voy
no habrá costo al honor tan alto
de estar junto a el
The first verse in Seefeel's song Extract describes a constant presence that is always there, but never ends. The singer observes this presence and sees that its wounds are shining brighter than the sun. The second verse describes a dream of being fearless and always surrounded by the truth. The line "Ojos que no pueden ver tan alto" (eyes that cannot see so high) implies that the singer's vision is limited and can only see so far, but he wants to walk in the same path as this presence. The dream world is a place where the singer is enveloped in this presence's love and is always a part of it.
The bridge of the song "Nadie sale ileso de una guerra así" (no one emerges from a war unscathed) speaks of the aftermath of the battle and how even if one falls without hope, the suffering does not end. It is unclear who wins in this battle, but the singer questions whether it is the weakest who ultimately triumphs. The last verse describes walking firmly, but barefoot with no intended destination. The cost is high to be near this presence, but it is worth it to be near him.
