Saliva
La Prohibida Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No es fácil creer ni es fácil desconfiar
Sólo puedo quedarme despierta
Esperando una señal

Vete tu a saber si Dios no lo sabe ya
Pero no nos lo quiere decir
Para ahorrarse saliva
Y corro al contestador pero veo que no llamó
Y me hago una paja mental
A la luz de la luna

Enciendo un cigarro más
Pero el humo me suena a su voz
Anestesio un poquito de amor
Con mucha nicotina

Que extraño se me hace el silencio
Cuando no estás hablando
Qué raro se me hace el amor
Cuando me estás amando
No te pido una inundación
Para cubrir mi playa
Si me dices te quiero cuando no quiero
Y ahora te quiero cada vez
Como una inés con alma de Don Juan
Como un Romeo con piel de Julieta
Voy a hacer lo que hizo Dios
Morderme la lengua

Y peco de adicción por continuar fumándote
Y me bebo una tila de hiel
Al rugir de las olas

El caso es que da igual
Ya estoy desenganchandome




Aunque se que ninguno hablará
Hasta que Dios decida

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Prohibida's song "Saliva" explore themes of belief, trust, and communication. The singer finds it difficult to believe or fully trust in something or someone, leading to a state of restlessness and uncertainty. They express their desire for a sign or signal to guide them, but wonder if even God knows the answer and chooses to withhold it to save their own saliva.


The song delves into the singer's internal struggles and anxieties. They describe checking their phone for missed calls, only to be disappointed by the lack of communication. They engage in mental masturbation, a metaphor for indulging in thoughts and fantasies, seeking solace under the moonlight. Lighting another cigarette, they find solace in the nicotine, using it as a way to anesthetize themselves from the pain of love.


Amidst the silence when you're not speaking, the emptiness feels strange. The singer finds love strange too when they're receiving it. They don't need an overwhelming flood of emotions, just a simple declaration of love, even when they're not ready for it. They compare themselves to fictional characters, Ines with the soul of Don Juan and Romeo with the skin of Juliet. They decide to do what God did, to bite their tongue and refrain from speaking.


In their addiction, they continue to consume the person they desire, metaphorically comparing it to smoking. They drink a bitter herbal tea as they listen to the roaring waves. They admit that it doesn't matter anymore because they are detaching themselves, knowing that no one will speak until God decides.
