Moneda de tres caras
Mikel Erentxun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He dejado solo una maleta
Medio llena en tu casa
Y el resto de mi vida
En la consigna de la estación

He olvidado las preguntas
Que quedaron sin respuesta
Y mi copia de tus llaves
La he dejado en el buzón

El taxista hablaba sin descanso
De las obras de Madrid
Yo le contestaba a todo
"Que si que si que si"

Mientras tanto esperaba
Que mi móvil volviese a sonar
Que tu voz me susurrara
El Harvest de Nel Young

He descubierto que eres
Solo una moneda de tres caras
Y que nunca ganare contigo
Por muchas trampas que haga

Me enseñaste laberintos
En las citas con tu piel
Y me perdí en ellos
Sin saber porque ni para que

Ahora tengo mucha prisa
En llegar a ninguna parte
En viajar por tierra
A una isla alejada del mar

En alquilar un piso viejo
En un barrio que no exista
En doblar una esquina
Y que al doblarla no haya nada más

He dejado sólo una maleta
Medio llena en tu casa
Y el resto de mi vida
Sobre una cama sin hacer

He olvidado hace tiempo
La manera de olvidarte
He olvidado hace tiempo
La manera de volver

Eres sólo una
Moneda de tres caras




Eres sólo una
Moneda de tres caras

Overall Meaning

In Mikel Erentxun's song Moneda de tres caras, the singer is reflecting on a failed relationship and the aftermath of it. He left a half-packed suitcase in his former partner's house and the rest of his life in a train station locker. He forgot his unanswered questions and left his spare keys in the mailbox. The singer is taking a taxi to an unknown destination and trying to distract himself from his thoughts by engaging in small talk with the driver. He is waiting for the phone to ring, hoping to hear his former partner's voice and the sound of the song "Harvest" by Neil Young.


The singer comes to a realization about his former partner, that they are like a three-faced coin - their true intentions are unclear and he can never win with them, no matter how many tricks he tries to play. He reflects on how his ex showed him intricate paths during their time together, but he became lost in them without understanding why or for what purpose. He expresses a sense of urgency to escape, to travel to a faraway, isolated island and rent an old apartment in a non-existent neighborhood. He wants to turn a corner and find nothing else beyond it.
