Tren Sin Frenos
Los Mil Jinetes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Premios o castigos ya no pueden desviar
Este tren sin frenos en el que voy
Durmiendo
Sentado en el monte de la transfiguración
Inventé yo mismo mi propia conversación
Aún cuando yo rechazo toda protección
No hay forma alguna de detener
Este tren sin frenos en el que voy
Durmiendo
Exista o no exista, el asunto queda igual
Premios o castigos ya no pueden desviar
Este tren sin frenos en el que voy
Echado en el puesto del conductor
Durmiendo...
The lyrics of Los Mil Jinetes's song Tren Sin Frenos (Train Without Brakes) talk about a journey or a ride that the singer is taking, and the idea that there is no stopping or slowing down once the journey has begun. The first verse talks about how the matter remains the same whether something exists or not, and how rewards or punishments cannot derail the journey. This is likely a metaphor for the idea that once we embark on a particular path or decision, we must keep going, regardless of the outcome.
In the second verse, the singer describes himself as sitting on the mount of transfiguration, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a moment of clarity or enlightenment. He then says that he invents his own conversation, which could be seen as a way of taking control of his own destiny. However, although he rejects any form of protection, he acknowledges that there is someone or something providing him with care and attention.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is no way to stop the train without brakes that the singer is on, and that he is sleeping through the journey. This could be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible interpretation is that the singer has given up control or agency over his own life and is letting fate or circumstance determine his path.
Overall, the lyrics of Tren Sin Frenos are poetic and open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest a sense of inevitability when it comes to our life's journey. The singer seems to be resigned to his fate, but also accepting of the idea that there is something or someone looking out for him.
