Una Pedrada en el Cristal
Valeria Lynch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Colgados de un hilo pequeño
Me queda un puñado de sueños, sin caer
Quizás por algún desconsuelo
se puedan romper contra el suelo
Alguna vez
No quiero pensar en mañana
Me guardo, me entierro en la cama
Sin dudar

Y cuando me entrego a la almohada
De pronto una sombra me ataca
Qué será?
Una pedrada en el cristal
Un arco iris de metal
Tengo otro sueño entre los brazos
Reventando en mil pedazos
La pesadilla es tan real
Una pedrada en el cristal
Un arco iris de metal
Y me despierto en sobresalto
El fantasma no lo es tanto
Ahora me deja respirar
Por más que mi cuerpo resiste
De pronto me pongo algo triste
Sin querer
Será que te extraño con ganas
Sabrás comprender, soy humana
Yo también
Colgada de un hilo pequeño
Me quedo dormida en un cielo
Tan azul
Te juro que no tengo miedo
Si justo al final de mis dedos
Estás tú
Una pedrada en el cristal
Un arco iris de metal
Tengo otro sueño entre los brazos
Reventando en mil pedazos
La pesadilla es tan real
Una pedrada en el cristal
Un arco iris de metal
Y me despierto en sobresalto
El fantasma no lo es tanto

Ahora me deja respirar
Por fin, en paz.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Valeria Lynch's song "Una Pedrada en el Cristal" express a feeling of vulnerability and uncertainty about the future. The singer sings about feeling as though they are hanging by a small thread, holding onto a handful of dreams, but they fear that they might shatter upon hitting the ground due to some heartbreak. The singer then goes on to describe how they try not to think about tomorrow and seek solace in sleep. However, they are haunted by a shadow and, suddenly, something shatters their peace of mind, like a stone being thrown at glass. This creates a rainbow-colored metallic dream that immediately turns into a nightmare, shattering to a thousand pieces. Yet, after waking up abruptly, the singer realizes that it was just a dream and takes a deep breath, finally feeling some peace.

These lyrics can be interpreted as an expression of the uncertainty and fragility of human emotions. The singer seems to be experiencing some pain and heartbreak that haunt them even in sleep.
