RETIRADA Lyrics Meaning

[Refrán]
These lines talk about how mentioning someone’s name feels like bringing them closer, but in reality, they don’t stay. It’s a reflection on fleeting connections and the feeling of emptiness when things or people don’t last. The singer questions the purpose of things like art or material possessions if they don’t provide real, lasting meaning.

[Verso 1]
Here, he talks about escaping reality, possibly through substances, as a way to feel free. But with that freedom comes loneliness. He flips between sleeping through the days and being awake all night, showing a disoriented life. He’s searching for peace because he knows happiness is just temporary, making it clear he’s tired of chasing momentary highs and wants something deeper.

[Coro]
He expresses frustration with the things most people desire, calling them overrated. He’s exhausted by a meaningless, repetitive lifestyle, so he decides to step away from it (“calling the retreat”). He gave everything to his passion, but now, even success feels empty. He smiles, but it’s almost forced. He’s rejecting toxic pleasures like drügs and meaningless relationships, wanting to be alone and find himself again.

[Post-Coro]
He’s ready to take a break from everything, feeling overwhelmed and tired. Life feels excessive, and nothing truly satisfies him anymore. He realizes that if something forces him to change or compromise who he is, then it’s not where he’s meant to be. This reinforces his decision to walk away.

[Refrán]
Again, he touches on how naming someone makes them feel close, but if they don’t stay, what’s the point? He connects this to nature (sky and sea), hinting at the idea that some things look like they belong together but are actually separate. He questions the value of art and life’s beauty if it doesn’t bring true fulfillment or permanence.

[Verso 2]
He acknowledges that even though the present is dark, the future might be clearer. He criticizes people who seem fake or superficial, calling out dishonesty in society. He compares them to loose screws spinning aimlessly, making it hard for him to trust or be surprised by anything anymore. This verse continues his theme of disillusionment and seeking something real.

[Coro]
Repeating his frustration, he reinforces that he’s sick of an empty, materialistic life. He’s stepping back from the toxic environment around him, rejecting fake happiness and distractions. His passion once drove him, but now he’s drained. He no longer wants shallow relationships or temporary highs—just solitude and peace.

[Post-Coro]
Again, he affirms his decision to retreat, to rest, and distance himself from everything that feels excessive and meaningless. He doesn’t want to be part of something that forces him to change or be unhappy.

[Refrán]
He repeats his earlier thoughts about how calling someone’s name gives the illusion of closeness, but if they don’t stay, it’s meaningless. He reflects on the disconnect between things that seem to belong together (like the sky and sea) but never truly merge. He questions whether art, love, or anything really matters if it’s not lasting, reinforcing his feelings of emptiness and disillusionment.
