Obrint Pas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Han assetjat. Instal·lats en la desgràcia
Que hem intentat oblidar. Reconstruir,
Reconstruir és el camí a seguir, l'ultima
Bala que em queda la
Reserve per a mi.
I són...
Sent el fred dins els pulmons, la cremor
Que m'està ofegant. Sent els ulls i les
Agulles que els dies em van clavant.
Quan la pressió guanya els combats els
Sentiments es van glaçant. L'última
Bala que els queda fa temps que t'està esperant.
I són...
Trets al cor
The Catalan band Obrint Pas's song, "Trets Al Cor," is a powerful reflection on the emotional toll of living in a world that is full of lies and deceit. The song starts by detailing the feeling of being suffocated by the constant barrage of falsehoods that surround us. The band refers to this feeling as being "ofegat," which means suffocated in Catalan. They sing about how we have become accustomed to living in misery and how we try to forget the misfortune that surrounds us.
The chorus of "Trets Al Cor" translates to "shots to the heart." This image resonates throughout the song as the band sings about feeling the cold and burning sensations inside their lungs as they try to breathe through the pain caused by these "shots." They feel like their emotions are being frozen over by the pressure of constantly trying to fight against the lies and deceit we face.
Yet, despite all of this, the band knows there is still hope. They sing about the need to rebuild and move forward, to keep trying to fight for what is right even when it feels like everything is against us. They say that they have one bullet left, symbolizing the last bit of strength they have to keep going.
Obrint Pas's "Trets Al Cor" is a poignant reflection on the emotional toll of living in a world filled with lies and deceit. The song speaks to the importance of resilience, of continuing to fight in the face of adversity. It is a powerful reminder to keep hope alive, even when it feels like everything is trying to pull us under.
