Sólo Sombra
Nadadora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A perdonarnos
El mundo se apartará
Hacia un lado
Se derramarán
Sobre tu regazo
La aguja, las armas,
Tú que nunca estás
Lo suficientemente lejos
Mi amor escúchame bien
He olvidado el miedo y el infierno
Te prometo que esta vez
Se quedarán siempre lejos
The lyrics to Nadadora's "Sólo Sombra" describe a scene in which forgiveness is sought from the heavens above. The world is said to move to the side to allow for this momentous event, and it seems that the singers are seeking redemption from some past wrongs. There are references to weapons and needles, which suggest that these wrongs may be related to criminal or harmful behavior, and the line "tus brazos, mis brazos" indicates that the singers may have found solace in one another after experiencing trauma.
The second stanza is addressed to a specific person, perhaps someone the singer loves deeply. The singer expresses a fear of their loved one not being far enough away, perhaps indicating a fear of being abandoned or betrayed. However, the singer seems to have overcome this fear and promises that the terror and misery they have experienced in the past will not return. The final line, "se quedarán siempre lejos," is a vow that these dark feelings and experiences will remain far from them forever.
