Gaveta literally translates to "drawer". It's a common household item, but its use in song lyrics, especially in this context, makes it quite unique and memorable.
In the song, the line "Deja el miedo en la gaveta" (Leave the fear in the drawer) creates a vivid and powerful image. It's a metaphorical instruction to put fear away, to lock it up and move past it, suggesting courage and resilience. This creative use of an everyday object to convey a deeper message makes gaveta an enticing word to learn.
Cris MJ kicks off this song with some seriously dramatic imagery: the end of the world. He sings, "Siete trompetas en el cielo" (Seven trumpets in the sky), a reference to the apocalypse. He feels like everything is ending, and the world is full of "Traición y odio" (Betrayal and hate). He's also fighting his own battles, confessing, "Vivo en guerra y no duermo / Demonios me hablan antes de dormir" (I live in a war and I don't sleep / Demons talk to me before I sleep).
But this isn't just a song about the end times. It's a love song set during the apocalypse. In the middle of all this chaos, he finds someone special. He sees her as an escape, a "Lady de otro planeta / Donde no existe maldad" (Lady from another planet / Where evil doesn't exist). He recognizes she's been hurt in the past, but tells her, "Tú no eres mala, solo te hicieron sufrir" (You're not bad, they just made you suffer). His devotion is total. Even as the trumpets sound, his focus is on her, promising, "Aunque / Se me acabe el mundo, contigo yo voy a proceder" (Even if the world ends, with you I'm going to proceed).
