Viendo la vida de lado
Stafas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
volar nunca he volado
si es verdad que e perdido la razón
con aditivos a ratos
beber, beber, lo que es beber
algo me e castigado
la verdad es que nunca encontré
robar, robar, lo que es robar
Robar si que he robado
De pequeño nunca me gusto
Pagar en supermercados
Donde estás corazón?
dime la verdad donde te has quedado?
apoyado en la barra de algún bar
viendo la vida de lado
querer, querer, lo que es querer
de eso ya me e cansado
yo apostaba siempre y ella no
menuda mierda de trato
follar, follar, lo que es follar
tres vueltas como el gato
en la barra me vas a encontrar
si quieres pasar el rato
beber, beber, lo que es beber
algo me e castigado
la verdad es que nunca encontré
razón para dejarlo
Donde estás corazón?
dime la verdad donde te has quedado?
apoyado en la barra de algún bar
viendo la vida de lado
The lyrics to "Viendo la vida de lado" by Stafas speak to the singer's sense of disillusionment and detachment from the world around him. The first verse communicates the desire to "fly" or "soar" but also the admission that the singer has never actually achieved this, perhaps suggesting a sense of unfulfilled potential or ambition. The next verse refers to drinking and how the singer has "punished" himself in some way through alcohol but has never found a good reason to quit. The third verse mentions stealing, something the singer has done before but doesn't particularly enjoy, specifically referencing not wanting to pay at the grocery store as a child.
The chorus poses the question "Where are you, heart?" and asks where it's gone. The answer seems to be that it's "leaning against some bar, watching life from the side." The fourth verse is about love, and how the singer has grown tired of it because he was always the one to bet big while his partner didn't reciprocate as strongly. The song ends with another reference to drinking on the bar, with an invitation to join if someone wants to "pass the time."
The overall mood conveyed by the song is one of detachment and apathy, with the singer seeming to have a resigned acceptance of his situation. The lyrics suggest a sense of dissatisfaction with life while not offering any real solutions or alternatives. It's a portrait of someone who feels stuck in their routine but isn't particularly motivated to change it.
