A la espera...
Forraje Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no le tienes miedo a nada
es tu cuerpo quien decide
lo que tienes que tomar.
Arrancas de mañana,
recorres ninguna parte.
Andas nada , piensas poco
En un callejón sin salida,
la jeringa tirarás.
Es tu cuerpo quién decide
lo que tienes que tomar.
Y tu mente está a la espera
de lo que pueda pasar
algo hay en ti que se libera,
¡no t puedes controlar!
ESTRIBILLO
Todos ven lo que tu aparentas…
Nadie advierte, lo que tu eres.
Todos ven lo que tu aparentas…
Nadie advierte, lo que tu eres.
Te estás poniendo delgado,
tus ojeras van a más.
La aguja en tu cuerpo no encuentra…,
por dónde entrar.
Y otra vez aunque no quieras
al callejón volverás…
Es tu cuerpo quién decide
lo que tienes que tomar.
ESTRIBILLO
Todos ven lo que tu aparentas…
Nadie advierte, lo que tu eres.
Todos ven lo que tu aparentas…
Nadie advierte, lo que tu eres.
Todos ven lo que tu aparentas…
Nadie advierte, lo que tu eres…
The lyrics to Forraje's song "A la espera..." describe the destructive cycle of drug addiction, where the singer is on the verge of exploding and has no fear of anything. The first verse describes how the body dictates what the person must take and how the person roams aimlessly, thinking little. The second verse mentions being trapped in a dead-end alley and throwing away the syringe. However, the body takes over again, and the person becomes incapable of controlling themselves. The chorus highlights the theme of appearances being deceiving, where everyone sees how the person appears, but no one notices who the person truly is. The final verse portrays the devastating physical effects of addiction, with the person becoming increasingly thin and struggling to find a vein to inject. The person acknowledges being trapped in a vicious cycle and returning to the same alley, controlled by the body once again.
The lyrics use metaphors to describe drug addiction as a force that controls the person's actions and thoughts. The line "y tu mente está a la espera de lo que pueda pasar" (and your mind is waiting for what might happen) shows how addiction puts the person in a constant state of anticipation and anxiety. The chorus reinforces how appearances can be deceiving, with the person being judged based on superficial observations. The final verse shows how addiction takes a toll on the body, leading to physical deterioration and desperation to find a vein.
