Ana
Shinova Lyrics

Ana
Recuerdo tu expresión tras la ventana
Tu mano en el cristal
Qué increíble final.
¿Ana
Acaso habías visto tanto drama?
Como esta despedida no habrá otra igual.
Y al alejarme
No escuché ninguna canción
En los créditos
Nadie aplaudió
Sólo un gran silencio hostil
Alumbrando tu perfil.
Nada vale para ti
Cuando tienes todo quieres más
Mucho más
¿De qué quieres escapar?
Noches de nunca acabar
Y drogas
Que te ayuden a olvidar
Maquillar una vida tan vulgar...
Ana
Eres un estrella fugaz
Capaz
De quemarlo todo
Y bailar entre las llamas
Y ni siquiera sientes calor.
Ana
Tú siempre tan especial
Tú siempre esperando
Por la escena perfecta
LUCES, CÁMARA Y ACCIÓN.
Y al alejarme
No escuché ninguna canción
En los créditos
Nadie aplaudió
Nunca lancé el sombrero
Para bailar bajo la lluvia.
Nada vale para ti
Cuando tienes todo quieres más
Mucho más
¿De qué quieres escapar?
Noches de nunca acabar
Y drogas
Que te ayuden a olvidar
Maquillar una vida tan vulgar.
Tan vulgar...
Tal vez querías
Un desenlace mejor
Un final extraordinario
Que rompiera en ovación.
Tal vez querías
Complemento en tu ficción
Que te elevara más del suelo




Un cretino que te admire
Como yo

Overall Meaning

The song "Ana" by the Spanish band Shinova tells the story of a girl named Ana who is seeking something more in her life. The song speaks of Ana's desire for more from life as she continues to search for the perfect scene. The lyrics begin by describing Ana's expression as she stands behind a window and places her hand against the cold glass pane. The song speaks of her desire for something extraordinary, something she hasn't seen before. The singer believes that the farewell Ana is experiencing is unlike any other, and as he leaves, he notices something strange- there are no credits, no music, and no applause. The only thing he is left with is the image of Ana and the silence that she harbored.


Ana's character is painted as someone who is never satisfied with what she has; she always wants more. The song suggests that she is searching for the excitement that comes with living dangerously and seeking thrills. She desires nights that never end, and drugs that allow her to escape reality. She tries to make her life more interesting than it really is, painting it with the colors of the rich and famous, hoping for a life that is more sublime. The chorus of the song describes Ana as a shooting star that wants to burn everything around her, dancing in the flames and not feeling the heat.


The concluding paragraph speaks of the possibility that Ana wanted a different ending to her story. Perhaps she wanted more from the script of her life, wanting an extraordinary finish that would break out in applause, elevating her above the mediocre. The singer believes that maybe she wanted a hero to admire her, someone that could lift her up, somebody like him.
