Disco Eterno
VENEGAS JULIETA Lyrics

In “Disco Eterno,” Julieta Venegas seems to be describing a feeling of being out of place or disconnected, but finding comfort in music. The opening lines, “Me salí fuera de contexto / practicar no te hace perfecto,” suggest that the singer may feel like she doesn’t quite fit in or meet certain expectations. However, she finds solace in “poner un disco eterno” and “moverme tornasol” (putting on an eternal record and moving like a hologram), which seem to represent the timeless and transformative power of music.

The song continues with the idea of exploring one’s desires and uncertainties, with lines like “Un espíritu aveces seguro otras veces incierto / quiero descubrir por que este deseo crece” (a spirit sometimes sure, other times uncertain / I want to discover why this desire grows). The imagery of a “meridiano” (meridian) and “medidas paralelas” (parallel measures) suggests a divide or distance between the singer and another person, but they aim to bridge that gap through the shared experience of music. The “sueño estéreo” (stereo dream) becomes a way to create a new dimension or reality, and the singer feels more exposed and vulnerable as she gradually “se va desnudando” (gets undressed) with each sound.
