| Shakira – Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
First you have to consider the historical period of the song, it was late 90's, there were a lot of depressed young people, theories of world end, millennium bug, machines replacing manpower and globalization menace (specially on the Third World, South America and perhaps Shakira's young rebel self) To me, as a kid from Brazil (and we don't speak spanish) we had plenty of those pop-rock or solely rock songs everywhere (like North America's grunge), with lyrics about being lost, lonely and afraid of the future. Shakira' song is no different, she talks sarcastically about following rules but you're chaos, people live with masks and she reminds you the human race was naked, raw, pure and you might not need all these complex, ephemeral and obscure life and feelings. To seek freedom, bare feet, pies descalzos. |
