El reloj de pared
Anunciando las 6:23
El pasado con sed
Y el presente es un atleta sin pies
Ya son las 6:43
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Me dice, "Así se vive aquí, te guste o no"
Y la nostalgia pone casa en mi cabeza
Y dan las 6 con 50

Quién te dijo que yo
Era el sueño que soñaste una vez
Quién dijo que tú
Voltearías mi futuro al revés

Ya son las 7:16
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Me dice, "Tu estrategia te arruinó"
No queda más que ir aprendiendo a vivir solo
Si te quedan agallas

La casa no es otra cosa
Que un cementerio de historias
Enterradas en fosas
Que algunos llaman memorias

Minutos
Como sale la herida
Se me pasa la vida
Gastando el reloj

Minutos
Son la morgue del tiempo
Cadáveres de momentos
Que no vuelven jamás
No hay reloj que dé vuelta hacia atrás

Cómo duele gastar
El instante en el que tú ya no estás
Cómo cuesta luchar
Con las cosas que no vuelven más

Ya son las 9:23
Y el cadáver del minuto que pasó
Se burla de mis ganas de besar
La foto que dejaste puesta en el buró
Mi soledad es tu venganza

El ministerio del tiempo
Puso sede en mi almohada
Ahí te encuentro a momentos
Aunque no sirve de nada

Minutos
Como sale la herida
Se me pasa la vida
Gastando el reloj

Minutos
Son la morgue del tiempo
Cadáveres de momentos
Que no vuelven jamás
No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrás

Minutos que se burlan de mí
Minutos como furia del mar
Minutos pasajeros de un tren que no va a ningún lugar
Minutos como lluvia de sal
Minutos como fuego en la piel
Minutos forasteros que vienen y se van sin decir
Minutos que me duelen sin ti
Minutos que no pagan pensión
Minutos que al morir formarán el batallón del ayer
Minutos que se roban la luz
Minutos que me oxidan la fe
Minutos inquilinos del tiempo mientras puedan durar
Minutos que disfrutan morir
Minutos que no tienen lugar
Minutos que se estrellan en mí son Kamikazes de Dios

    I agree with you meanguy300, this song is amazing and so is Ricardo Arjona. Certainly a must for all of those who want to listen to good music in Spanish. I love this part: "Minutos,/Son la morgue del tiempo,/Cadáveres de momentos,/Que no vuelven jamás;/No hay reloj que de vuelta hacia atrás" Some people are always trying to turn back time.. and they just need to deal with the fact that they can't :)

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
