Parálisis Del Sueño
Vaya Futuro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y yo andaba queriendo escaparme
¿Quién se acerca a mis pies?
No me muevo, no me muevo
No me muevo, no me muevo
¿Quién se atreve a ir más alla de lo que siente?
Limitados por el pasado y presente que está a tus pies
¿Quién se acerca a mis pies?
No me muevo, no me muevo
Vienen por mi, vienen por mi
Vienen por mi, vienen por mi
Quizás es lo que esperaba y no sé.
The lyrics of Vaya Futuro's song "Parálisis Del Sueño" evoke a feeling of being caught between worlds, somewhere between the train that leads to the brink of death and a longing to escape. The singer finds themselves rooted to the spot, unable to move in the face of an unknown force approaching them. The lyrics ask who dares to go beyond what they feel, limited by the weight of their past and present, and questions whether this force coming towards them is what they have been waiting for all along, despite their apprehension.
The phrase "parálisis del sueño" translates to sleep paralysis, a medical condition where a person is temporarily unable to move or speak when waking up or falling asleep. This condition is known to evoke feelings of fear and the sensation of a menacing presence. The song's lyrics play on these themes of paralysis and fear, both physically and emotionally.
Overall, the lyrics suggest the singer is unable to move forward or take action, feeling stuck between a desire to escape their current circumstances and a fear of the unknown. The song's haunting melody and evocative lyrics create a sense of unease, capturing the feeling of being trapped in a dreamlike state.
