La Carie Lyrics in English by Dillom, Lali
Carie literally translates to "cavity" in English. It's an unexpected and somewhat dark word to find in song lyrics, making it quite memorable.
In the song, the artist uses "carie" metaphorically, singing "Quiero sentir que soy la carie de tu muela" (I want to feel like I am the cavity in your tooth). This line suggests a desire to be an inescapable, perhaps even destructive, presence that slowly takes hold and causes discomfort, reflecting a deeper theme of wanting to be a significant, albeit potentially negative, force in someone's life.
Dillom's "La Carie" (meaning "The Cavity") featuring Lali is a really intense track where Dillom grapples with some heavy internal conflict. He's asking for "Mi sueño de paz y no de pastillas" [My dream of peace and not of pills], suggesting a struggle with inner demons and a desire for genuine tranquility over artificial escape. He even talks about how "El diablo que nunca duerme penando me despabila" [The devil that never sleeps wakes me up with torment], showing how these thoughts keep him from resting.
There's a fascinating shift in his ambition too. He mentions, "Le prometí a mi papá que iba a ser el mejor pero ya no quiero ser mejor, quiero ser el peor" [I promised my dad I was going to be the best but I don't want to be the best anymore, I want to be the worst]. This isn't just a rebellious phase; it feels like a declaration that doing "evil" is his only option, and he even admits to being a little excited by other people's misfortune. He wants to be "la carie de tu muela" [the cavity in your tooth], which is a pretty blunt and memorable way to say he wants to be a source of trouble and decay. It's a raw look at someone embracing a darker path, or at least wrestling with the idea of it.
