Weichafe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me incluyas mas
En tu sermón,
¿Qué sabes de mí?
Hey finge otra vez
Que crees en mi,
Pichanga en Visón

Tu risa imbécil

Comienza abrir
El precio al día del frenesí
Si es que estoy muerto
Déjame aquí
Soy el destello
Del resentir

No me incluyas mas
En tu sermón,
¿Qué sabes de mí?
Hey finge otra vez
Que crees en mi,
Pichanga en Visón

Traben las puertas
No hay caridad
Me siento enfermo
no hay hermandad
Nada conmueve
¿quieres venir?
Algunos sueños
Podré cumplir

No me incluyas mas
En tu sermón,
¿Qué sabes de mí?
Hey finge otra vez
Que crees en mi,
Pichanga en Visón

Nada conmueve
¿quieres venir?

Algunos sueños
Podré cumplir

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pichanga en Visón" by Weichafe depict feelings of isolation and detachment from society. The song begins with a demand to not be included in someone else's sermon, questioning what they truly know about the singer. The persona of the song seems to feel a sense of deep distrust towards society and its members as they mockingly tell the other to "finge otra vez", which translates to "pretend again" in English.

The chorus of the song, "Pichanga en Vison", is a phrase that does not have an exact translation, but it seems to refer to a wild or chaotic party. The persona sings about feeling sick and without brotherhood or charity, and mentions that nothing moves them emotionally. They invite the others to come with them to fulfill some of their dreams, but the feeling of detachment remains. The last line, "Podré cumplir", which translates to "I will accomplish," gives the impression that the persona might finally attain some of their goals, but it is unclear how this will occur.

Overall, "Pichanga en Visón" seems to be a song that speaks to the difficulty of truly connecting with others and experiencing a sense of belonging. It highlights the pain of being an outcast and the frustration that comes from feeling like people do not truly understand or care about one's struggles.
