| Shakira – Dreams For Plans Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think this song is in regards to her experience growing up under the public eye with her boyfriend/fiance of 10+ years. She's such a mature artist. She's looking back at times when her life was less hectic and less demanding. She's very nostalgic. These were times when she could relax a bit more. This was a time before she knew English very well. She has only acquired the language in the last 10 years. She spent the first 20 or so years of her life speaking and singing in Spanish. She really has "lived too much too fast" by most standards. Not many people will ever get the experience of being a worldwide musical phenomenon. She's toured the world. In Spanish-speaking countries, she is regarded as a living legend. And yet you hear in her voice, in the music, and in the lyrics, a sad realization that she found something special about the earlier part of her life, as if there was more focus on love, or as if love flourished better under her previous circumstances. It suggests that sometimes she questions her career as a musician and singer. She acknowledges how the demands of a career, and maybe even adulthood in general, have taken a toll on her relationship. She suggests that more is not always better. The simplicity of lying on the floor and staring at the ceiling are things she recalls and longs for. What a beautiful woman. Beautiful song. Beautiful artist. |
