Ídolos
Tachenko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es un ídolo con pies de barro.
Lo intenta: no acepta otra explicación.
No vino para hacer milagros.
Teme lo peor.
Yo lo busqué, busqué
llegar hasta el fin.
algo que decir
y amor. Míralos,
qué actitud!,
alcanzando el éxtasis.
Vienen bien,
dan salud,
son tesoros para mí.
Ella nunca se ha quedado en el umbral de la puerta, amiga de las indirectas,
tuvo que elegir.
Lo intenta: no acepta otra explicación.
No vino para hacer milagros.
Teme lo peor.
Yo la busqué, busqué
llegar hasta el fin.
Y la encontré, encontré
algo que decir
y amor. Míralos,
qué actitud!,
firmes antes de morir.
Vienen bien,
dan salud,
son iconos para mí.
The lyrics of Tachenko's song "Ídolos" depict the perception and pursuit of idols and the emotions involved in this process. The song's protagonist is disillusioned with the idea of transcendence and living beyond one's means. They observe that the idol they admire is someone who makes up what they don't know, and someone with fragile qualities despite their status. Despite this, the singer tries to deny any other explanation and believes that the idol has not come to perform miracles but rather fears the worst.
The singer, however, feels a strong connection with the idol and sets out to find them, wanting to reach the end of their journey. When they finally find the idol, they discover something meaningful to say, something about love. The observer of such idolatry comments on the attitude of those who idolize, reaching the point of ecstasy, providing well-being and being treasures. The singer also mentions another character, a female friend who never stays on the threshold but rather makes choices. Like the previous idol, she too denies any other explanations and fears the worst. The singer seeks to find her and reaches the end of their quest, finding something meaningful to say about love. The observer comments on the attitude of those who idolize her, noting their firmness before death, providing well-being, and being icons.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment with the idea of idolizing someone or something, highlighting the fragile nature of idols and the importance of finding one's own voice and purpose in life.
