1600
Tronic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me dice que pronto te iras
por suerte ya te di paz
otra vez agua en el suelo
se esta filtrando el gas
hay que mudarse de acá
se esta quemando mi hogar
durmiendo en la calle de nuevo
ya no quiero trabajar
me estoy yendo al mas allá
hay fuego hay viento
se ha quemado mi hogar
si te vas a morir 9.500
que el seguro fallo
otros 1.600
por todo hay que pagar
es la vida terrenal
aunque te vayas de aquí
seguirás debiendo
The lyrics of Tronic's song '1600' describe a sense of impending loss and destruction. The wind is blowing against the singer's soul and foretelling that the person they are singing to will soon leave. Despite this, the singer has given them peace. However, there is trouble brewing in their immediate surroundings as water is leaking onto the gas and they need to move. The chorus repeats the phrase "Hay fuego hay viento" or "There is fire and wind," accentuating the sense of chaos and instability.
The second verse dives deeper into the singer's troubles. Their home is on fire and they are forced to sleep on the streets again. They've grown tired of working and wish to escape to the afterlife. The lines "Si te vas a morir 9.500, que el seguro falló, otros 1.600 por todo hay que pagar" translate to "If you are going to die 9,500 (dollars), the insurance failed, 1,600 (dollars) must be paid for everything." This suggests that the singer has experienced loss before and that tragedy always comes with a hefty price tag. The final line "Aunque te vayas de aqui seguirás debiendo" or "Even if you leave, you'll still owe" emphasizes the persistent weight of debt and responsibilities that follow even when someone is gone.
Overall, the song 1600 is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the struggle to find stability amidst chaos. The repeated imagery of fire and wind create a sense of danger and urgency, while the mention of financial debts add a layer of realism to the emotions expressed. The singer's desire to escape their hardships and the larger systems of debt and inequality touches on larger societal issues as well. Tronic masterfully uses metaphors and personal anecdotes to comment on greater themes.

Han pasado muchos años. Cuando escuche esta joya. Son 3:05 am. La mejor crisis existencial. En mi vida, recordé momentos felices del rock del punk, de las bandas de garage, entre amigos. Tratábamos de tocar sus canciones. Pero oírlas y sentirlas es lo mejor. Gracias @tronic

La escucho desde que salio, y la sigo escuchando, cuando algo me pone triste o algo me aflige, escuchar esta canción me hace seguir en pie y no tirar la toalla, muchas de sus canciones me hacen levantar la mirada y decir por que no hay que ser tontos la gente se priva de cosas, al final hay que hacerlas por que todos, todos vamos a morir!! ;) muy buena canción!!

Esta canción cuando la escuche por primera vez me dejo pensando completamente sobre el sentido de la vida, mas que todo en lo que trata la canción, que incluso al morir hay que pagar.Me gusta mucho el ritmo y todo pero me deja pensativo a la vez.
