Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cannot live this room, lock it all inside leave it
all behind pretend it isn't there...
lady take me away cant live with the regret after
what i did, lady take me away cant live with myself...
That's been gone now for almost 10 years thought
i look at another person in the eye and not feel so ashamed...
lady take me away cant live with the regret
after what he did, lady take me away cant live with myself.
I thought i could lock it all inside...
daddy you were wrong, i thought you were my friend,
thought i could on you... daddy you were wrong
The lyrics of Viernes Verde's song "Daddy" explore themes of shame, regret, and the struggle to move on from past mistakes. The song is addressed to a father figure, who the singer blames for his inability to confront the consequences of his actions. The opening lines reveal the singer's struggle to cope with something that has happened, which has left him feeling trapped and unable to face the reality of his situation. He longs to escape from it all, to "lock it all inside" and "leave it all behind". This suggests that he is unwilling or unable to face the truth of what has happened and is trying to run away from it all.
However, the singer also expresses a deep sense of regret and remorse for what he has done. He longs for someone to come and rescue him from his situation, to take him away from the pain and the guilt that he is feeling.

This suggests that there has been some kind of betrayal or abandonment by the father figure in the singer's life, which has left him feeling alone and unable to cope with the challenges that he is facing.
Overall, the lyrics of "Daddy" are a powerful exploration of the complex emotions and struggles that come with dealing with past mistakes and trying to move forward from them. The song expresses a sense of pain, regret, and longing for redemption, which is sure to resonate with many listeners.

I believed I could bottle everything up and ignore the pain, but now I've realized that my father was wrong in saying that was the best way to deal with it. I trusted him, but he let me down.

La mayor parte del video se grabó en la estación de trenes de FEGUA (todo lo que se mira viejo y abandonado). El principio del video es en mi casa. La parte de la camioneta fue en Las Americas y La Reforma. Hay un par de imágenes que fueron en el centro cívico, cerca de la muni. Todo el final fue en el 100 puertas.

Tuve el honor de haber pertenecido a esta banda de rock chapin aun cuando viernes verde se llamaba blind spirits. Esta cancion fue hecha a finales de 1993, y desde el primer momento que la escuche me fascino. Por motivos del destino no continue mi trayecto con esta banda, pero me enorgullece ver su crecimiento.

Muy buena canción y muy buen video. Soy mexicano y estoy harto que éstos espacios se copen de basura xenófoba, tanto de parte de mis paisanos como de parte de los hermanos guatemaltecos. Centroamérica y México son uno sólo. Deberíamos apreciar nuestras coincidencias y aprovechar nuestras similutudes para hacer despuntar la región y comenzar a remontar los atrasos que cunden entre nuestros pueblos. Vivan Centroamérica, Guatemala y México!!!

llevo mas de 10 años siguiendolos, y hasta ahora vi la traduccion de esta cancion, Bien Viernes verde adelante, son lo mejor de Guatemala, muchas gente vive por sus canciones nos hacen sentir que estamos vivos Adelante mucha 100% exelente
@nicvit
Lo único que puedo agregar es que las canciones en Ingles las escribieron en 1993 cuando estaban iniciando con la banda. Vale la pena mencionar que en su primer año de existencia, tocaban en casas particulares y gran parte del público que los llegaba a ver eran estadounidenses o extranjeros que vivían en Guatemala.

Para nadie es un secreto que las primeras rolas de Viernes suenan mucho a Pearl Jam. En esa época, hicieron un disco de música como la que a ellos les gustaba y todos estaban muy influenciados por Pearl Jam.
