El Suelo
Tres y yo Lyrics

The lyrics of Tres y Yo's El Suelo are beautifully poetic and introspective, exploring the theme of one's journey through life and the ways in which our surroundings shape that journey. The opening lines, "El suelo cede los pasos a los que caminamos sobre el pavimento" (The ground yields our footsteps to those who walk on pavement), set the tone for the rest of the song, suggesting that the world around us is constantly changing and influencing us as we move through it.

The following lines, "Al borde y tan despacio, tan lento como un viaje entre los huesos" (On the edge and so slowly, as slow as a journey through bones), further enhance this idea of our surroundings shaping our experience, suggesting that life can feel like a slow, deliberate process that follows the contours of the world around us. The lyrics continue on to describe the act of travel, with the singer "traveling between songs" and dreaming and playing in order to feel alive.

One of the song's most striking images comes in the line "Un charco refleja el cielo, y el suelo se convierte en nubes de cemento" (A puddle reflects the sky, and the ground becomes cement clouds), which suggests a blurring of boundaries between the natural world and human-made structures. The song ends with the singer being carried by the "angel of failures" and seeing only the ceiling, conveying a sense of surrender to the forces of life, whether they be internal or external.
