INFRARROJO / ULTRAVIOLETA Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
In the first verse, the artist reflects on working hard while staying humble and low-key. He mentions carrying a small amulet with him, perhaps for protection, as he avoids drawing too much attention. He doesn’t need to act loud to get noticed; his presence speaks for itself. He’s living in his favorite moment, where his woman, hash, and a joint are all he needs to feel content. He observes the younger generation, who are smoking and dreaming of wealth, while he has gained clarity from his past struggles. The verse also touches on his spiritual journey, transitioning from being lost (“pagan”) to feeling enlightened. He contrasts the past, where life felt like a barren field, with his current path, which now feels like a more structured journey. The mention of “punto rojo” (red point) symbolizes both danger and success, with his eyes reflecting the intensity of his life.

[Puente]
In the bridge, the artist casually shouts out to his fans from New York to Valencia, showing his international connections. He mentions finishing a project (“pieza”) today and traveling the next day to Valencia, hinting at his busy and successful lifestyle. The tone is relaxed, with a sense of excitement about what’s to come, as he’s ready to move forward with his plans.

[Verso 2]
The second verse describes the artist’s shift from a simple, humble life to one filled with luxury and excess. He metaphorically “packs up his life,” leaving behind his old self, and now deals with the complexities of fame, wealth, and materialism. While he enjoys the new accessories and labels, the pressure of dealing with people who bring him headaches is evident. He talks about freeing himself from the chains that once held him back—both literally and figuratively. He has grown and surpassed his previous limits, symbolized by “passing the goal” without being stuck in the “beta phase.” The verse also reflects the harsh realities around him, with children experiencing violence and struggling financially, while others indulge in dangerous lifestyles. There’s a constant tension between survival and luxury, as he navigates through a world that feels tight and overwhelming. He references past conflicts with family, highlighting a deep sense of distrust and generational struggles.

[Outro]
In the outro, the artist emphasizes respect for those in power, suggesting that only when faced with real danger (like a weapon), people truly understand the consequences of their actions. He points out the insincerity in others, as some people pretend to be good but are only opportunistic. Despite all the chaos around him, he continues his own path, enjoying his habits and the world he’s built.
