Sobrenatural
Barón Rojo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hasta una escena irreal
algo flotaba alrededor
una tensión brutal
vi una estrella fugaz
mi pensamiento se borró
entonces ella lo ocupó
me consiguió atrapar
no quise escapar
esclavo de un ente sobrenatural
un ectoplasma apareció
venía del mas allá
mundo testigo de la reunión
en aquel lugar
la luna estaba arriba
en su eterno hogar
y la tormenta descargó
mientras mi cuerpo se rindió
me consiguió atrapar
no quise escapar
esclavo de un ente sobrenatural
y la aurora llegó
con un día mas
el sueño se consumó
que vuelva la noche
siempre la noche
el cambio fue brutal
ya nada será igual
esclavo de un ente sobrenatural
me consiguió atrapar
no quise escapar
esclavo de un ente sobrenatural.
The lyrics of Barón Rojo's song Sobrenatural describe a dreamlike state where the singer finds himself in an unreal scene with a certain tension in the air. The dream takes a turn for the supernatural when he sees a ghostly figure appear and then gets trapped by it. Despite being a prisoner to the entity, he does not wish to escape, and instead revels in its otherworldly power.
As the dream progresses, he witnesses the arrival of another ghostly figure, and together they create a world that is witness to their reunion. The moon is overhead, and a storm rages while the embrace of the entity continues to hold him captive. As the dawn comes, the dream is consummated in a brutal change that alters everything, leaving him captivated by the supernatural entity.
The lyrics of Sobrenatural are open-ended, and various interpretations can be made of the song. However, the overall theme seems to be about the subjugation of the human will to a higher, supernatural power that is beyond our understanding.
