Esta Casa
mi amigo invencible Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ésta casa no es mí hogar.
No es familiar,
Ésta casa no es mí hogar.
No es familiar,
Ésta casa no es mí hogar.
No es familiar,
Ésta casa no es mí hogar.
Y no soy lo que llevo.
Sólo soy lo que dejo,
Ahora soy un recuerdo.
The lyrics to Mi Amigo Invencible's song "Esta Casa" show the singer's feelings of displacement within their own home. They repeat the phrase "No es familiar" meaning "It's not familiar" multiple times, emphasizing their lack of connection to the house they're in. The singer seems to be struggling with a sense of identity, stating that they are not defined by what they own or wear, but rather by what they leave behind. This can be interpreted as a message about the transience of physical possessions and the importance of leaving a meaningful impact on the world.
The repetition of the phrase "No es familiar" also creates a sense of unease and uncertainty. The singer may be experiencing a feeling of dislocation or disorientation within their surroundings. This feeling can be relatable to many people who have experienced a change in their living situation, such as moving to a new home or city, or even going through a personal transformation where they feel like they no longer belong in their familiar surroundings.
Overall, "Esta Casa" is a poignant commentary on the struggle of finding one's place in the world and the importance of realizing that true identity is not found in material possessions.
