Pesadilla
Gisselle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
por que duermo en la cama equivocada
aunque tengo mi marido
otro hombre se adueño de mis sentido
y no se que hacer
Se que no esta bien fingirle
al hombre con quien yo vivo
cuando hacemos el amor
sin querer cierro los ojos y el otro se apodera
de mi cuerpo
Peeesadilla que me atrapa cada dia
laberinto que ya no tiene salida
que martirio es ser infiel sin tu quererlo
por que se ama alguien mas
Hago un drama cada dia de mi vida
sensacion que me trastorna y me tortura
sin querer digo su nombre a cada instante
y temo que me descubra
mi mariiidoo

The lyrics to Gisselle's song "Pesadilla" powerfully convey the feelings of a woman trapped in a nightmare of her own making. Every night, she relives the same terrible nightmare because she sleeps in the wrong bed, feeling as though her senses have been taken over by another man. Though she has a husband, she cannot control her desire for this other man, leaving her with a sense of guilt and confusion. As much as she tries to pretend, she cannot deny the truth of her feelings, and she fears being accused of adultery. In a sense, it seems as though she is caught in a labyrinth with no way out; even though she loves someone else, she is trapped in a cycle of deceit and longing, unsure of how to escape.
The song speaks to the complexities of human desire, and the ways in which we can easily become ensnared by our own emotions. The lyrics suggest that the singer is torn between her duty and loyalty as a wife and her overwhelming attraction to another man, ultimately trapped in a cycle of guilt, confusion, and fear. It's a powerful and emotional song that deals with themes of love, betrayal, and the human condition.
