Dos Filos
Eiza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me aterrizas después de volar
Con solo un beso
Yo no sé cómo hacer para encontrar
Esa llave tu inseguridad
Yo no te voy a lastimar
Confía en mí
Te vi venir llegar
No lo pude evitar
De ti me enamore
Porque mi mundo pones al revés
Yo digo menos tu más
Eres tan bueno que hace mal
Dos filos que se cortan al amar
Tú eres una especie en extinción
Si me ves pulsar tu corazón
Es para protegerlo
Yo, yo nunca me quedo en el dolor
Busco el si entre un millón de nos
No contamines este amor
Déjalo ir yo te amo a ti
Te vi venir llegar
No lo pude evitar
De ti me enamore
Porque mi mundo pones al revés
Yo te vi venir llegar
No lo puede evitar
De ti me enamore
Porque mi mundo pones al revés
Yo digo menos tu más
Eres tan bueno que hace mal
Dos filos que se cortan al amar
Al amar
De ti me enamore
Porque mi mundo pones al revés
Yo digo menos tu más
Eres tan bueno que haces mal
Dos filos que se cortan
Al amar
In the song "Dos Filos" by Eiza, the singer describes a complex relationship in which her partner enslaves her to his freedom, yet she cannot resist falling in love with him because he turns her world upside down. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is someone who comes and goes in her life and cannot be controlled, but she still loves him passionately, despite the difficulty of the relationship. The line "tú me esclavizas a tu libertad" ("you enslave me to your freedom") highlights this paradox, as the partner's freedom is what makes him attractive, yet also what causes the singer to feel trapped and powerless.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it compares the relationship to a double-edged sword, with two sharp sides that cut each other in the act of loving. The line "dos filos que se cortan al amar" ("two blades that cut each other in love") is an apt metaphor for the singer's struggle to reconcile the highs and lows of her relationship, torn between the pleasure of being with her partner and the pain that comes with it. The singer's admission that she does not know how to find the key to her partner's insecurity suggests that they are both struggling to make the relationship work, yet unable to let go of each other.
