REM Lyrics in English by Humbe
Sordee comes from the verb sordear, which is a colloquial term meaning to pretend not to hear or see something, often to avoid a situation or a person.
In the song, the lyric "Aunque me sordee, aunque no lo vea" (Even if I pretend not to hear/see it, even if I don't see it) reveals the internal conflict of the singer. They are trying to ignore their feelings or the reality of the situation, but deep down, they still want the person there. It's an interesting and less common word that captures a very specific emotional nuance.
Humbe's "REM" is such a relatable song about trying to escape someone from your thoughts, only to find them waiting for you in your dreams! He sings, "Me dormí para evitar que te pensara" [I fell asleep to avoid thinking about you], which is something many of us have tried. But then, the irony hits: "el lugar donde busco mi paz es donde estabas" [the place where I look for my peace is where you were].
It's all about that bittersweet feeling of wanting to move on, but your subconscious has other plans. He dreams of them saying, "Nos besamos si te animas" [We kiss if you dare] and "Quédate a dormir acá" [Stay here to sleep]. He even describes it as getting "más picos de dopamina, Natural melatonina" [more dopamine kisses, natural melatonin]. The song really captures that desperate desire to hold onto those dream moments, especially when he says, "Toparnos en REM, besarnos again and again" [Meeting in REM, kissing again and again]. It's a beautiful, slightly heartbreaking look at how our minds can sometimes work against us when we're trying to heal.
