Pareces Transparente
Victor Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En contraluz te pierdes,
Seguirte a cada paso
Un laberinto mágico de menta y regaliz.
Pareces transparente,
Si te hablo no me entiendes
Pareces como ausente
Pareces transparente,
Tenerte y no tenerte,
Hablarte y no escucharte,
Llevarte entre los dientes por las calles de Madrid.
Pareces transparente,
La luna es tu juguete,
Sentados frente a frente
La bruma nos envuelve y va tiñéndonos de gris.
Estás en mis orejas,
Jugando con mis huesos,
Cambiándome los sueños,
Marcando mis fronteras.
Estás en lo que callo,
Al borde de los labios,
Perpetúa centinela,
Extraña enredadera.
Pareces transparente,
Sonríes a la muerte,
Tu número es el trece,
Decides libremente que deseas ser feliz.
Pareces transparente,
Con un nombre tan breve,
De azúcar o de nieve,
De espuma en mar abierto de tormentas en abril.
The song "Pareces Transparente" by Víctor Manuel seems to be about a person who appears to be transparent or elusive. The singer is trying to follow this person and finds themselves lost in a magical world of mint and licorice. The person seems absent-minded and distant, as if they are far away on Venus. The singer cannot seem to communicate with them or get through to them, even when they are together in person. The person is like a ghost, always in the singer's ears and bones, affecting their dreams and thoughts.
The singer seems to be obsessed with this person, carrying them around in their teeth through the streets of Madrid, but at the same time feels like they cannot truly connect with them. The imagery of the moon as the person's toy and the fog enveloping them in grey paint a picture of a mysterious and elusive figure. The person seems to have a strange power over the singer, affecting what they say and what they keep hidden.
