La Espada
Los Tres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hablar sin pensar
Pensar sin hablar
Servicio militar
Muerte cerebral
Cerrar sin abrir
Primaveras mil
Una sorda feliz
Se jactó de nuestro fin

Tirar sin lanzar
No, no llega el dolor
Y si es lo peor
Muerto vivo mejor

Triángulo de amor
Bermuda del dolor
Disparo al corazón
Burbuja de terror
Caída sin saltar
Estruendo sin igual
Palabras al pasar
No hay forma de frenar

Sexo sin mirar
Mi almohada puede más
Que todo tu amor
Que vive en mi bolsón

La saliva va
La saliva viene atrás
Corte cerebral
El principio es al final

Consomé de callampas
Dulce miel de arañas
Consomé de callampas
Dulce miel

No endulza sin picar





La espada y la pared
Me atraviesan y no al revés

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Tres's song La Espada y la Pared present a series of seemingly unrelated phrases, creating a fragmented yet evocative narrative of personal struggles and societal issues. The repetition of contradictory actions such as "Hablar sin pensar, pensar sin hablar" suggests the confusion and ambivalence of the singer. There is a sense of disillusionment with traditional institutions, as seen in the lines "Servicio militar, Muerte cerebral", which juxtaposes the oppressive nature of military service with the potential for mental stagnation. "Cerrar sin abrir, primaveras mil" may indicate a desire for growth and change but a fear of the unknown, as symbolized by the yearning for spring but a reluctance to open oneself up to it.


The second verse introduces the idea of emotional pain and how it can be avoided through a kind of emotional numbness. The lines "Tirar sin lanzar, no, no llega el dolor" seem to suggest that failing to invest oneself in something (such as a relationship) may be less painful than opening oneself up to the possibility of heartbreak. The chorus features a powerful metaphor likening the experience of love and heartbreak to a "triángulo de amor, Bermuda del dolor", highlighting the complex and often conflicting emotions involved. The final verse juxtaposes physical pleasure (sex) with emotional emptiness, as the singer suggests that they find more comfort in their pillow than in the person they supposedly love.


Overall, the lyrics of "La Espada y la Pared" convey a sense of confusion and disillusionment with societal conventions and personal relationships. The use of evocative metaphors and contradictory phrases creates a profound sense of dissonance and emotional complexity.

Impresionante la capacidad de síntesis de Alvaro con cada frase,a la velocidad de las sinapsis esas que ligan y desligan a la hora de las transmisiones, a lo Violeta Parra ,para decirlo todo en ese acto minimalista. El texto feroz.
Del virtuosismo musical ni hablar, una tremenda banda......la inteligencia del Rock Penquista.
