Siniestra
Los Bunkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mi estafadora fe en mi
Olvide decir, así
Que no debo morir por ti
Y tu risa miserable
Clavo su uña en mi pecho
A diestra y siniestra
El amor un basurero
Donde respirar
Un bolsón con agujeros
Duro de cargar hasta el final
Mejor cerrar la boca
Las palabras ya rebotan
En paredes que no
Puedo ver
Y tu risa miserable
Clavo su uña en mi pecho
A diestra y siniestra
Sin razón
Deberías creer en nada
Para ser feliz mañana
Reza y no trates de entender
The lyrics of Los Bunkers's song "Siniestra" describe a person struggling with their own beliefs and values in the face of a toxic, manipulative relationship. The singer acknowledges that they can no longer sustain their faith in themselves, and that their attempts to please their partner have hurt them deeply. The partner's "miserable laugh" is like a knife in their chest, a cruel reminder of the pain they've endured in trying to keep the relationship together.
Despite their efforts, the singer realizes that love is a "dumpster" where it's hard to breathe, and a "bag with holes" that's difficult to carry. The hopelessness of the situation is made even worse by the fact that the singer's attempts to communicate are met with walls that they can't see. In the end, the song suggests that the only way to move forward is to let go of everything - beliefs, values, and even the desire to understand - and just pray for tomorrow.
Overall, "Siniestra" is a poignant and painful exploration of the dark side of love, and the damage that can be done when we lose ourselves in the pursuit of someone else's approval.
