Tantas Escaleras Lyrics in English by Las Pastillas Del Abuelo
Canábico literally means "cannabis-like" or "related to cannabis." It's an interesting and somewhat provocative word that isn't commonly found in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, the phrase "hoy estoy canábico corazón" suggests a state of being hazy, confused, or perhaps under the influence, where the singer can't "find the hair on the egg" (a Spanish idiom for being unable to find a simple solution to a problem). This gives the word a unique, almost surreal, context within the lyrics.
Have you ever felt like you're constantly climbing "Tantas escaleras" [So many stairs] but never quite learning how to come down without someone's help? That's the feeling at the heart of this song. It's about needing that "voto de confianza" [vote of confidence] from someone else, even when you feel like you're falling and just need them to "Agarrame la mano" [Grab my hand].
There's a great image of a relationship that's stuck, like a "bola que no gira" [ball that doesn't spin] because it's "atascada" [stuck]. It’s about being what someone always looked for, but now that they have it, it's almost too much. The song also has this blunt honesty, like when it says, "No todo orgasmo acaba bien amor" [Not every orgasm ends well, love] or "No todo lo que brilla es oro" [Not all that glitters is gold]. It feels like getting lost and ending up somewhere unexpected, like taking the wrong subway and ending up "en cualquier lado" [anywhere]. It's a really relatable feeling of being a bit lost and needing that connection.
