La Trampa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
con cada madrugada que se te va escapando, escapando.
Es aquel dedo frío que siempre está arañando, arañando.
Es la vieja mentira que se asomó recordando, recordando.
Mal compañera de viaje la soledad.
No suelta hasta que me hace llorar, me emborracha susurrando.
Y mientras beso el pecho de una mujer o la abrigo descansando,
espera porque sabe que volveré a su lado rezongando.
Mal compañera de viaje la soledad.
The lyrics of "Arma de doble filo" by La Trampa describe the feeling of loneliness and its power over a person's life. The title, which translates to "Double-edged weapon," refers to how loneliness can both provide comfort and cause pain. The song starts by saying that loneliness is the weapon that cuts both ways, riding along with every morning that slips away. It is a cold finger that scratches constantly and an old lie that resurfaces and remembers. It is a terrible companion for the journey that traps you when you are humming a tune, and it does not release until it makes you cry or drink to forget.
The lyrics convey the acceptance of the singer that even when they are embracing a woman and taking rest, loneliness waits because it knows they will return grumbling. The song suggests that loneliness is not a random event, but rather an entity that seeks to be noticed and never leaves. In this way, it becomes a mal compañera de viaje or a bad travel companion, who is always by your side.
Overall, the song expresses the consequences of being alone, and the difficulty of shaking off loneliness. It is an emotional description of the power of loneliness on a person's mental, physical, and emotional state.
