Silencio

The song 'Silencio' by Los Tipitos, an Argentine rock band known for their melodic tunes and introspective lyrics, delves into the complex emotions surrounding silence in the context of love and life. The lyrics speak of a silence that is not truly silent, suggesting a tumultuous inner world despite the lack of audible noise. The repeated line 'Silencio que no es silencio' indicates a contrast between the external quiet and the internal noise, possibly representing the thoughts and feelings that consume the narrator even in the absence of sound.

The imagery of being surrounded by 'calles y lugares' (streets and places) that cling to the narrator and a shirt 'llena de anzuelos' (full of hooks) evokes a sense of being trapped or caught by past experiences or memories. This could symbolize the way one's history and emotional baggage can silently but persistently affect one's present state of mind. The 'montón de bocas como parlantes' (lots of mouths like speakers) that 'saturan el aire' (saturate the air) further illustrates the overwhelming nature of these internal voices and possibly societal pressures.

The chorus reflects on the heart being 'aturde en silencio' (stunned in silence) and 'se agita en silencio' (agitates in silence) due to 'los gritos del amor' (the screams of love). This juxtaposition of silence and noise could be interpreted as the struggle to find peace amidst the emotional turmoil of love. The narrator speaks of the heart engaging in conversation only when it's too late, suggesting regret or missed opportunities. Ultimately, the song captures the essence of seeking tranquility in a world filled with both external and internal chaos, particularly in the realm of love and relationships.
