Miedo
Forraje Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Así está la cuestión
no se quien es el que mata
a sangre fría
y remata su trabajo de una manera tan eficiente,
mientras escapa se le ve sonriente
no le importa la gente
la misión está cumplida y nada más.
la pena y consternación,
y una impotencia
que se apodera
y poco a poco destruye la vida entera.
Y ¿ahora que?, ¡digo yo! si nada tiene sentido de todo esto aborrecido.
¿Para que vivirá, si la duda es permanente
y el miedo ya está en su mente?
¿Hasta cuando tiene todo esto que durar? que no creo que nadie pueda aguantarlo ni seguir así, habrá que tomar medidas y nada más.
The song begins with the artist speaking of screaming until their voice breaks without any regret or sorrow, only the sound of the wind in the background. Then, the lyrics bring up a question about the unknown killer who coldly does his job and escapes with a smile on his face, without any concern for the people around him. The artist then speaks about the sorrow, pain and helplessness that the victim's family and friends feel after the event, as it destroys their lives little by little. They wonder what the purpose of life is if everything is so senseless and filled with hate, and if fear will always be a part of their reality. The artist advocates for taking action and finding solutions to prevent such events from happening again.
The song is a powerful critique of violence and its effects on individuals and society. It speaks to the fear and anguish that results from the senseless killing of innocent people, while simultaneously calling for an end to these atrocities. The lyrics are straightforward and raw, with no sugar-coating of the reality of violence.
