La Raya
Obús Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por una raya saqué la nariz
Después el resto y empecé a vivir
Más que la chapas y más que el balón
Las tras en raya fue mi vocación

Estaba claro que no era normal
Que tanta raya fuese algo casual
Rayas en mapas y en una pared
Muros, fronteras aquí no entra usted
Borras barrotes en un prisión
Rayas que dicen donde y donde no

Tú te las tomas con resignación
Yo me las tomo inspiración

Que te olvides de mí
No me cuentes batallas
Que te olvides de mí
Cuando pillo una raya
Yo me la paso por la punta de la nariz

Rayas morales para limitar
Según algunos lo del bien y el mal
Buenos cristianos y buena salud
Tu mente a raya hasta el ataúd

Tú te las tomas con resignación
Yo me las tomo inspiración

Que te olvides de mí
No me cuentes batallas
Que te olvides de mí
Cuando pillo una raya
Yo me la paso por la punta de la nariz

Que te olvides de mí
No me cuentes batallas
Que te olvides de mí
Cuando pillo una raya
Yo me la paso por la punta de la nariz

Que te olvides de mí
No me cuentes batallas
Que te olvides de mí




Cuando pillo una raya
Yo me la paso por la punta de la nariz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Obus's "La Raya" talks about addiction to cocaine and the mentality and behavior that comes with it. The first verse talks about how the singer started to dabble in cocaine and how it became his vocation to always be chasing after the next line. The second verse speaks about how the addiction grew until it began to control his life, and the type of boundaries he broke just to get his fix. The chorus talks about how he doesn't want to be judged by others who don't understand the addiction and how he chooses to deal with it by taking inspiration from it instead of letting it defeat him. The final verse talks about the moral aspects of addiction and how, whether you are a Christian or just someone seeking good health, the addiction can take control of every aspect of your life.


The lyrics are poignant and captures the emotions and struggles of those who are addicted to cocaine. The use of the word "raya" as a metaphor for cocaine in the chorus, highlights how addiction can seemingly lift the individual to greater heights, but also brings them crashing down to reality. The song emphasizes the internal conflict which arises in the user’s minds as they fight with themselves to either continue with their destructive habits or to let go and forget altogether.
