Instrucciones Lyrics in English Arde Bogotá
Ever felt like you needed instructions for how to guard your heart? The Spanish band Arde Bogotá gives you just that in their powerful song, 'Instrucciones' (Instructions). The song guides you step-by-step on how to build a new heart, one that can't be broken. The materials? Not what you'd expect! You'll need:
- Sharp memories
- Cement and asphalt
- A core made of tin
The goal is to create something that will keep you safe from the pain of being loved badly, insulating your chest so that feelings can no longer enter.
But here’s the twist: if you follow these instructions, you won't build a heart at all. The song reveals that in trying to protect yourself, you might accidentally build something else entirely. You might end up with a heavy, mechanical bus, a cold coffin, or a suit of armor in your chest. This new creation can't love, and its artificial 'bam bam bam' beat becomes a constant, torturous reminder of what you've lost. It's a powerful metaphor about how trying to shut off our pain can leave us feeling even more empty and disconnected.
