La Niña Imantada
Love of Lesbian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que he caído sin quererlo en tu gravedad.
Es como si andara siempre en espiral
cuando encuentro una salida tu apareces,
niña imantada.
Y ahora yo he de admitirlo
y ahora yo presiento que has vencido,
no hay manera humana de escapar.
Así que alégrate, lo has conseguido
los días sin ti serían precipicios,
no hay manera humana de escapar.
Nadie, nunca, nadie,
nadie excepto tú puede enviarme hacia el espacio
y devolverme hacia su cama.
Y en las horas más oscuras me harás levitar.
En descuidos crearemos universos,
niña imantada.
Y ahora yo he de admitirlo,
y ahora yo presiento que has vencido,
no hay manera humana de escapar.
Te voy a contar este misterio,
simple y eficaz, el roce de mis dedos
te ha magnetizado, y ahora tú,
y ahora tú...
y ahora tú...
y ahora tú...
Así que alégrate, lo has conseguido,
los días sin ti serían precipicios,
no hay manera humana de escapar.
Así que alégrate, lo has conseguido,
los días sin ti serían precipicios,
no hay manera humana de escapar.
The lyrics of La Niña Imantada by Love of Lesbian explore the idea of being helplessly attracted to someone, to the point where there seems to be no way to escape their pull. The singer has been suspicious of this attraction for centuries - perhaps indicating a historical or mythical quality to the relationship - and feels as though they are constantly spiraling towards the other person. They describe the other person as a "magnet girl", capable of pulling them in whenever they try to find a way out.
Despite the singer's admission that there is no human way to escape this attraction, there is a certain excitement to their words. They tell the other person to celebrate their victory, as without them every day would be like falling off a cliff. Even in the darkest hours, the other person has the power to lift the singer up, and together the two of them can create entire universes. At the end of the song, the singer reveals the simple mystery of their attraction - the touch of their fingers has magnetized the other person and brought them closer, until there is no way to escape.
Overall, La Niña Imantada portrays the idea of love as a force that is beyond human control, one that can be both thrilling and terrifying in its intensity. The lyrics capture the feeling of being caught in someone else's gravity, of being unable to resist the pull towards the other person no matter how hard one might try.
