Heridas Abiertas
Desakato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Un arma en la nuca
Apunta al precipicio
La única opción que queda
Es correr cara al abismo

Suena el disparo, atadas manos y pies
Condenados a caer, a no creer en nada
No existe luz cuando no dejan ver
No existe motivo para la esperanza

Cuando la sangre se niegue a brotar
De las heridas abiertas
Ácido que escuece, nos arde la piel
Cada latido aumenta el dolor al ver
El infierno en el paraíso
En guardia como animales heridos

Cuando la sangre se niegue a brotar
De las heridas abiertas
Seremos mártires sin miedo a volar

Imposible describir el sabor de la impotencia
Cuando se enciende la mecha
Anhelando el momento en que todo estalle, muera
Vuelvo a nacer

Un segundo puede cambiarlo todo
Somos los dueños de la eternidad
Desequilibrados por no hallar el modo
De no asistir a nuestro funeral

Sientes lo mismo
Es el miedo a despertar
Y no encontrar motivo

Imposible describir el sabor de la impotencia
Cuando se enciende la mecha
Anhelando el momento en que todo estalle, muera
Vuelvo a nacer




No dudaré, vuelvo a nacer
No dudaré, vuelvo a nacer

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Desakato's song "Heridas Abiertas" (Open Wounds) are a powerful exploration of the destructive effects of fear and violence. The song begins with an image of someone being held at gunpoint with an "arma en la nuca" (gun at their neck) and forced to run towards a cliff ("correr cara al abismo"). The fear that drives this person forward is palpable, and the lyrics suggest that there is no other option but to keep running towards the edge of the abyss.


As the song progresses, we learn that this person is not alone in their desperation. They are joined by others who are "condenados a caer" (condemned to fall) and have lost all hope in life ("a no creer en nada"). The darkness of this situation is underscored by the line "no existe luz cuando no dejan ver" (there is no light when they don't let you see), which suggests that the oppressors of these people are deliberately keeping them in the dark.


But even in the face of this darkness, there is a defiant spirit that refuses to give up. The lyrics speak of "mártires sin miedo a volar" (martyrs without fear of flying), and suggest that even in death, there is a kind of liberation that can be found. The final lines of the song suggest that even though the fear and violence may never truly go away, there is always the possibility of being reborn ("Vuelvo a nacer").


In summary, "Heridas Abiertas" is a song that explores themes of fear, violence, and defiance in the face of oppression. It paints a bleak picture of a world where people are held at gunpoint and forced to run towards their own destruction, but also suggests that even in the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of hope and a chance for rebirth.

Letra:
Un arma en la nuca apunta al precipicio,
la única opción que queda es correr cara al abismo.
Suena el disparo, atadas manos y pies,
condenados a caer, a no creer en nada.

No existe luz cuando no dejan ver,
no existe motivo para la esperanza.
Cuando la sangre se niegue a brotar
de las heridas abiertas.

Ácido que escuece, nos arde la piel.
Cada latido aumenta el dolor al ver
el infierno en el paraíso.
En guardia como animales heridos.

Cuando la sangre se niegue a brotar
de las heridas abiertas
seremos mártires sin miedo a volar.

Imposible describir el sabor de la impotencia
cuando se enciende la mecha.
Anhelando el momento en que todo estalle, muera.
Vuelvo a nacer.

Un segundo puede cambiarlo todo,
somos los dueños de la eternidad.
Desequilibrados por no hallar el modo
de no asistir a nuestro funeral.

Sientes lo mismo, es el miedo a despertar
y no encontrar motivo.

Imposible describir el sabor de la impotencia
cuando se enciende la mecha.
Anhelando el momento en que todo estalle, muera.
Vuelvo a nacer.
No dudaré, vuelvo a nacer.
No dudaré, vuelvo a nacer.
