Sorprendido del truco
Hazte Lapón Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vaca sagrada
La res robada
al hijo de Hiperión
Espectador
sujeto pasivo
hombros encogidos
Si la lección de la cosmogonía
puede explicar tu deriva interior
Y tu atractiva pose depresiva
Que hablen los astros, que expliquen la eterna repetición
Ulises, querido
El tiempo pasa
de isla en isla
de sol a sol.
Mirando al cielo
No se halla la calma
Ni se encuentra consuelo
en la eterna repetición
Yo soy capaz de seguir la corriente
vagar por el Ponto sin plan ni dirección
Con la infidelidad de tu Molly Bloom en mente
que es la de siempre, que es distinta
Una de dos
Es esto un sueño o ya lo hemos hablado?
Debo decirte que tienes la razón
o que estás profundamente equivocado?
Y que una vez más hemos bebido demasiado
In "Sorprendido del truco" by Hazte Lapón, the lyrics touch on various themes such as religion, conformity, introspection, and the cyclical nature of life. The lines "Cordero de Dios, Vaca sagrada, La res robada al hijo de Hiperión" allude to religious symbols and sacrificial imagery, suggesting a questioning of traditional beliefs and societal norms. The song portrays the singer as a passive observer, resigned to following a predetermined plan imposed on them by a higher power. The reference to cosmogony and the eternal repetition implies a search for meaning and understanding in the cyclical nature of life, while also acknowledging the potential beauty and allure of depressive poses and introspection.
The name Ulises (Spanish for Ulysses) is mentioned, representing a sense of longing and restlessness. The lyrics describe a journey through islands and days, looking for peace and comfort, but not finding it in the eternal repetition of life's patterns. The mention of Molly Bloom, a character from James Joyce's "Ulysses," adds a layer of infidelity and complexity to the theme of seeking fulfillment.
Overall, "Sorprendido del truco" captures a sense of existential contemplation and a desire to break free from societal constraints, while also acknowledging the allure and challenges of introspection and repetitive cycles. The song invites listeners to question established belief systems, explore their own journeys, and reflect on the futility or profundity of existence.
