Hacia El Abismo
Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que las razones del mal
No las comprendo ni yo
Así que vete a saber
Porque prefiero abusar
De tu tremenda bondad
Y no hay razón para cambiar
Si pudiera elegir
Entre el placer y el dolor
Elegiría los dos
Tú sufrirías por mi
Yo gozaría por tí
Es la justicia de daimón
No, no tengo solución
El fango es mi colchón
No tengo corazón
Sí, mi reino no es de Dios
Me gusta lo peor
Me río de tu amor
Qué pretendes salvar
Yo prefiero el infierno
A tu seguridad
Sangre, fuego y maldad
Yo prefiero el infierno
A tu fidelidad
Puedes pensar
Que es solo por empatar
Y no te falta razón
No me apetece abrazar
El pensamiento ramplón
La falsa comodidad
No tengo nada mas que hablar
Más de una vez
Me han intentado empujar
Hacia el abismo infernal
Del que no hay vuelta jamás
Del que no puedes volver
Y yo encantado acepté
Cómo me puedes aguantar
In "Hacia El Abismo" Alaska sings about embracing the darker aspects of her personality and rejecting societal norms of morality and purity. She proclaims that she doesn't understand the reasons for evil, but she takes advantage of people's kindness and prefers to indulge in both pleasure and pain. She revels in the idea that she would enjoy while someone else suffers, as she believes it's the justice of demons. She claims that she has no solution to her own wickedness, that the mud is her bed, and that she has no heart.
Alaska refuses to be saved, preferring the warmth of hell over the safety of the pearly gates. She scoffs at the idea of love and fidelity, preferring blood, fire, and wickedness. She admits that she doesn't want to conform to the usual, simplistic thoughts and fake comforts that society offers, and therefore, there's nothing else she wants to say. She has embraced the darkness and accepted that she might be pushed towards the abyss, which she willingly accepts, but wonders how anyone can tolerate her considering how dark the world she lives in is.

Es unica esta mujer. Cuando muera JAMAS volvera a ver nadie como ella ni en mil siglos.
@MetalAlchemist
Letras que te hacen pensar, que lejos estamos de todo esto en la música popular de hoy.
@arturomarcialguerreroteran4764
Acabo de escuchar esta joya. Dios, donde ha estado enterrada esta obra de arte, es una pena que en su época no haya tenido el merecido reconocimiento. La música y la letra son cautivantes, adictivos, propios de una generación de trance. Buenísima, cómo quisiera que las canciones de hoy tuvieran la magia y la seducción de ésta.

En México tuvo mucho impacto en la de ada de los ochenta. Incluso las canciones menos conocidas en otros lados. Por eso siguen volviendo acá.
@franciscoortiz5860
Soy de Ecuador, cuando era niño sonaban las canciones más conocidas de ellos Ni tú ni nadie, Cómo pudiste hacerme ésto a mi, etc pero este tema y como otros que no tuvieron el rating de las otras son increíbles con un sonido y letra oscura excelente grupo.
@enjoythesilence1977
De los mejores temas y menos reconocidos.....la letra profunda y la musica hipnótica y seductora....
@gabrielesquinarodriguez8571
Sin ninguna duda, una de las canciones emblemáticas de Alaska y Dinarama. Grande Carlos Berlanga.
@mercanchinfle
Absolutamente maravillosa!!!!!
