Durmiendo con el enemigo
Hazte Lapón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No hay por qué temer, ahora ya estás conmigo
Voy a intentar que todo siempre te salga bien
Aunque como comprenderás, es algo que no puedo prometer.
Dímelo tú, dime cuál es el camino
Para satisfacer tus deseos más primitivos
Hay algo que me empuja a hacerlo mal una y otra vez
Y si resulta que acercarte a mí fue el problema principal
Si yo intento defenderte y es en mí donde está el mal
Y estamos atrapados porque hemos quedado unidos
Y te estoy condenando a dormir con tu enemigo.
Duérmete ya, y sueña con monstruos y alienígenas
Y una especie vegetal que aniquila a los terrícolas
Y animales sin ojos, que recorren la ciudad
Y el hombre de los lobos que te busca sin cesar
Y cuando despiertes, ya sólo estarás conmigo
Y te estaré abrazando, y estaré tranquilo
Y ya verás que todo tiene sentido
Que eres feliz durmiendo con el enemigo
Que eres feliz durmiendo con el enemigo.
The lyrics of Hazte Lapón's Durmiendo con el enemigo are about trying to find happiness and escape from one's enemies. The singer tells the listener to forget their enemies and not be afraid, as now they are with the singer. The singer promises to try to ensure that everything goes well, but notes that they cannot guarantee this. The singer then asks the listener which path they should take to satisfy their primal desires, admitting that they are unsure how to fight their own tendencies towards wrongdoing.
The chorus of the song reveals the underlying conflict: if the listener coming closer to the singer is the main problem, and the singer is trying to defend them, then the singer themselves may be culpable. The two are trapped together, and the listener is condemned to sleep with their enemy. The second verse of the song then takes a surreal turn, suggesting that the listener should dream of monsters, aliens, and other bizarre and frightening imagery. The singer promises that when the listener wakes up, they will only be with the singer, who will be embracing them and everything will make sense. The song ends with the assertion that the listener is happy sleeping with the enemy.
Overall, the song seems to be about the difficult choices we face in trying to navigate our own desires and the people we surround ourselves with. The surreal imagery of the second verse suggests that some of these desires and choices may be beyond our own comprehension, and that the only solution might be to embrace them in a strange and uncomfortable way.
