Omertà
Bala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No queda gasolina
Es la última salida
Mientes, te olvidas
Esto va a ser mi vida.
No sabes donde estamos
Nos vamos callamos
Silencio, silencio, silencio o muerte
Muere

No lo quieres ver

Mejor estar dormida, no me mires
Respira, habla, grita
Dime que es verdad... aaaahhhh...
Es la ley del silencio que llega
Es la ley del silencio que mata
Es la ley del silencio que te hace... callar

Te escapas y no miras
Huyes a la deriva
Esta cerrado y gritas, la llave esta escondida
El pacto te consume
Ve a la escalera y sube
Ya no te des la vuelta
Tu ley es la muerte
Muere, muere...





No lo quieres ver

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bala's song "Omertá" are about the code of silence that is often followed in criminal organizations. The title itself comes from a term used in the Italian mafia to describe the code of silence. The song describes someone who is trapped in this culture of silence and violence, unable to escape.


The first verse sets the scene with the lines "No queda gasolina, Es la última salida" (There's no more gas, it's the last exit). This immediately gives a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer is running out of options, and their only way out is through violence, as indicated by the lines "Esto va a ser mi vida" (This is going to be my life). The second verse takes on a darker tone, with the singer realizing that they are in too deep, and that their only chance of survival is to keep silent. The lines "Es la ley del silencio que llega, Es la ley del silencio que mata" (It's the law of silence that comes, It's the law of silence that kills) further emphasize the importance of remaining silent, as breaking the code could lead to death.


The chorus serves as a warning to anyone who might consider breaking the code of silence. The lines "Esta cerrado y gritas, la llave esta escondida" (It's closed and you scream, the key is hidden) show that even if someone wanted to speak out, they would be unable to. The lines "El pacto te consume, Tu ley es la muerte" (The pact consumes you, Your law is death) further emphasize the idea that anyone who breaks the code will be met with deadly consequences.


Overall, "Omertá" is a powerful song that sheds light on the culture of silence that exists within criminal organizations. It serves as a warning against breaking the code and highlights the desperation and hopelessness that comes with being trapped in this world.
