Sofá
La Habitación Roja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
y ella ha encontrado un nuevo hogar,
las horas que pasan dónde irán.
Retorcida en el sofá,
echa de menos conversar.
Belleza y estampa singular,
naturaleza sin igual.
silencio ensordecedor,
oigo latir mi corazón.
Y he estado toda una vida
viviendo de mis mentiras,
y ahora que lo tengo todo,
me dicen que ya no hay nada.
Se me apaga la mirada
al ver cómo las puertas se acaban.
Todo da vueltas sin cesar,
tu reloj es un marcapasos vital,
el tiempo no tiene piedad,
si llegas tarde no esperará,
alguien en tu lugar habrá.
Interpretar la realidad,
interrogante universal.
Quisiera no estar manipulado,
si pudiera diferenciar
a los que me dicen la verdad.
Y he estado toda una vida
viviendo de mis mentiras,
y ahora que lo tengo todo,
me dicen que ya no hay nada.
Se me apaga la mirada
al ver cómo las puertas se acaban.
Silencio que vuelve loco,
ruidos que desesperan,
imaginaria quimera
creer ser el centro de la Tierra.
Y he estado toda una vida
viviendo de mis mentiras,
y ahora que lo tengo todo,
me dicen que ya no hay nada.
Se me apaga la mirada
al ver cómo las puertas se acaban.
Yo fui mi peor enemigo,
yo mismo te di la espalda.
Lo mismo que hice contigo
es lo que siempre he hecho conmigo,
conmigo, conmigo, conmigo ...
La Habitación Roja's song Sofá speaks about the melancholic atmosphere of being alone and the feeling of emptiness that comes along with it. The song starts off by describing how everyone else is asleep, and the singer is left alone with nothing but their thoughts. The lyrics highlight the idea of feeling lost within one's own thoughts, and how the passage of time adds to this feeling of disconnection. The singer is twisted on the couch and misses having conversations with someone else.
The song progresses to discuss the existential crisis of the singer. They feel like they have been living a lie and are surrounded by people who are not truthful with them. The lyrics provide a window into the singer's mind and their struggle to break free from the manipulative environment they find themselves in. The singer feels trapped and unable to differentiate between who is telling the truth and who is not. The song also explores the idea of self-betrayal and how it can lead to feeling alone and defeated.
The song concludes with the singer being their own worst enemy and having turned their back on themselves. The self-loathing and lack of confidence is a common theme throughout the song. The lyrics suggest that the singer has lost their way and is unsure of how to move forward.
