Momento de la Verdad
Nueva Etica Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu tiempo se acaba
El momento de la verdad
Todo tu esfuerzo de nada sirvio
La confianza se acaba, sos un perdedor
Vendiste tu vida, te entregaste al dolor
Tus ojos reflejan lo débil que sos.
Vos renunciaste a una vida mejor
Ya no hay respeto ante tu traición

Yo no puedo ocultar mi dolor
Miro a mi lado y ya no estas vos.
Tu tiempo se acaba
El momento de la verdad
Nunca quise ser mejor que vos
Solo trato de entender tu forma de pensar
Pasa el tiempo y yo sigo siendo straight
Mi guardia sigue en alto
Y no pienso claudicar.
Tu imagen se desvanece
Veo cadenas a tu alrededor
Conformista me demuestras
Con orgullo tu rendición
Renunciaste a esta lucha
Por un poco de satisfacción
Yo no trato de juzgarte
Pero miro a tus ojos

Y siento decepción.
Por temor diste un paso atrás

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nueva Etica's "Momento de la Verdad" tell a story of betrayal and regret. The song is directed at someone who has given up on their principles and has chosen to take the easy way out. The singer laments the loss of this person's friendship and respect, but ultimately cannot condone their actions. The lyrics paint a picture of a once-strong individual who has succumbed to weakness and despair. The chorus of "Tu tiempo se acaba/El momento de la verdad" warns that time is running out for this person to realize their mistake and make amends before it is too late.

Throughout the song, the singer speaks from a position of moral superiority, but is not without empathy for the person they are addressing. The use of the first person pronoun "yo" throughout the lyrics suggests a personal connection between the singer and the subject of the song, which makes the betrayal all the more painful. The lyrics are steeped in a sense of disillusionment and disappointment, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the loss of someone they once respected.
