El Espejo
Píldora Letal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quiero convencerme de mi error
Una sombra solo es sombra por la luz que la proyecta
Una sombra solo es sombra por el cuerpo que la sufre
La noche reposa como un oso hibernando
Pero sospecho de la inhóspita tranquilidad
Creo que el insomnio trata de decirme algo
Y ese oso apacible volverá en un asesino
De esta habitación tan despreciable.
Las horas parecen posponerse
Los minutos son las horas
Todo está lento y ahora
Veo mis manos temblorosas
¿Hace cuanto estoy oyendo el reloj y su tictac?
Dos cargas atascando mis pasos
Tengo una en cada pie
Siento que me observan desde aquella esquina.
Pero no hay luz que me ayude a ver tus ojos
Me dice una voz que ya no pierda más mi tiempo
Me grita que solo queda el adiós.
Tumbo unas libretas llenas de letras tristes
Enciendo una vela ahora más muerta que viva
Miro hacia la esquina y encuentro a mi enemigo
Mirándome a los ojos
A través del espejo.
The lyrics of Píldora Letal's song "El Espejo" paint a vivid picture of a person caught in a state of uncertainty and paranoia. The singer starts by questioning their own perception, unsure if what they are seeing is real or a mere illusion. They reflect on the concept of shadows, acknowledging that shadows only exist because of the light that causes them and the bodies that cast them. This contemplation leads to a sense of unease, as the calmness of the night arouses suspicion. They believe that their insomnia is trying to communicate something to them, warning them that the peacefulness they currently experience will soon turn into a deadly threat.
As the song progresses, the singer's anxiety intensifies. They feel suffocated by the oppressive silence in their despicable room, where time seems to drag on endlessly. Every minute feels like an hour, causing their hands to tremble with fear and uncertainty. They question how long they have been listening to the ticking of the clock, as if time has become distorted and their reality has warped. The weight of their burdens is likened to two obstacles impeding their progress, symbolized by burdens attached to each foot. They constantly feel watched from a distant corner, yet there is no light that can illuminate the eyes of the person observing them.
