Sombra
Ak'bal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es algo que en tus sueños te atrapa,
Que vive y sin embargo no responde a ningún nombre
Que vive en silencio
Atrápame, atrápame, atrápame.
Que vive en tus entrañas, que escucha tus latidos
Que siente mi sudor que humedece su interior.
Es una mujer, es una sombra que vaga en tu interior,
Atrápame, atrápame, atrápame
The lyrics to Ak'bal's song Sombra describe a woman who is like a shadow within the singer's mind. She is something that can take hold of you in your dreams, but also lives and exists without any name or response. This shadowy woman seems to be a silent presence, always within the singer, feeling their heartbeats and their sweat. She is ever-present in both the singer and the listener, capturing their attention and drawing them in. The repeated phrase "atrápame" (catch me) represents the desire to be caught by this shadowy woman and to fully embrace all that she represents.
Overall, the lyrics of Sombra are incredibly layered and complex. At first glance, they may appear to simply describe a woman who exists only in the shadows, but upon closer inspection, there is much more at play here. The shadowy woman can be interpreted as a representation of one's innermost desires or fears. She is a constant presence that we can't quite name or explain, but we feel her impact on our lives nonetheless. The lyrics can be seen as an invitation to explore these feelings and to fully embrace all aspects of ourselves, even those that may be difficult to understand.
