Mala conciencia
Eskorzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soy el que hace y deshace,
el que parte y reparte,
el que rompe y corrompe,
el que miente con arte,
el que duerme a tu lado,
el vago y el catre
el que cada mañana te obliga arrastrarte,
el que esta alli la ira sangrante,
el alfa, el omega, el tiempo restante,
el aire asfisiante, la cuenta pendiente,
la rima asonante, la mancha en el traje,
hacer mi propuesta por na'interesante.
mala mala mala mala... conciencia
Soy y siempre sere, el mismo perro con el distinto collar, que muerde la mano que le da de comer, donde yo piso la hieba no vuelve a crecer.(bis)
Soy el que entra a tomar la pimienta y la sal,
soy el camino a seguir que se hace al andar,
yo soy la mala lengua la mente enferma,
soy soy soy lo que llaman la mala conciencia.
Soy el que hace y deshace,
el que parte y reparte,
el que rompe y corrompe,
el que miente con arte,
el que duerme a tu lado,
el vago y el catre
y aquel del que nada ya puede esperarse,
el que cada mañana te obliga arrastrarte,
el que alli esta cobarde la ira sangrante.
The lyrics of Eskorzo's "Mala conciencia" embody a sense of self-awareness of the singer's negative impact on those around him. Honest from the start, the song's chorus repeats "mala mala mala mal... conciencia" which can be translated as "bad bad bad bad... conscience." It's as if the singer is admitting to having a troubled conscience, one tainted by their past actions.
Throughout the verses, the singer explains all the different roles they play in people's lives. They are the ones who create and destroy, who lie and manipulate, who bring you down and make you suffer. They are the lazy ones who sleep next to you in bed, and the ones from whom you can no longer expect anything. They are the ones who make you crawl out of bed every morning and the ones who are there when your anger becomes unbearable. They are everything, from the beginning to the end, and their actions eventually lead to a sense of suffocation.
The chorus takes on a slightly different meaning during the song's final verse. Here, the singer admits to being a constant and unchanging presence in people's lives, even as things around them evolve. They are the same dog with a different collar, biting the hand that feeds them. Where the singer steps, no grass grows, and they are the source of the malicious rumors and negativity that infect people's minds. They confess to being the bad conscience, a constant reminder of their past sins.
Overall, "Mala conciencia" is a song that emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and taking responsibility for one's actions. It encourages listeners to confront their inner demons and explore the motivations behind their negative impulses.
