Explosión
amparito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
son todos igual,
me cuesta despertar
y no vomitar.
Repito lo de ayer.
Repito lo de ayer.
prefiero no pensar,
y él no está en pie,
me cuesta respirar.
Repito lo de ayer.
Repito lo de ayer.
Sólo pienso en cuando explotaré,
en cómo la mierda cubrirá todo.
Sólo pienso en cuando explotaré,
en cómo la mierda cubrirá
todo esto y más... todo esto.
Salgo a trabajar,
tugurio sin igual,
vuelvo a mecanizar
lo mismo una vez más.
Repito lo de ayer.
Repito lo de ayer.
Y luego al regresar,
las náuseas seguirán,
me pongo a cocinar
por no tener que hablar.
Repito lo de ayer.
Repito lo de ayer.
Sólo pienso en cuando explotaré,
en cómo la mierda cubrirá todo.
Sólo pienso en cuando explotaré,
en cómo la mierda cubrirá
todo esto y más, todo esto.
The lyrics of Amparito's song "Explosión" depict a feeling of monotony and despair in the singer's daily life. The repetition of phrases like "Repito lo de ayer" (I repeat yesterday's actions) emphasizes the cyclical and mundane nature of their routine. The singer struggles to even get out of bed in the morning, feeling nauseous and suffocated by their surroundings. As they go through the motions of work and cooking, they can only think about a hypothetical explosion that would cover everything in "mierda" (referring to excrement or general unpleasantness).
The theme of repetition and the ennui that comes with routine is a common one in many forms of art, and Amparito captures it well in this song. The lyrics also touch on the desire for some kind of release or catharsis, even if it's destructive. The imagined explosion represents a kind of escape from the suffocating daily grind, even if it's not a healthy one.
