Soy El Ring
Pedropiedra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y el diablo estб en mi
Vibrando un combate a muerte
Soy el refereй y tambien soy el ring
El pъblico y los dos combatientes
Que se dan, se dan, se dan, se dan
Sin parar
Uno le pega mas fuerte
Y el otro le contesta mas potentemente
Se dan, se dan, se dan, se dan sin parar
Alguno ganarб por puntos pero nunca por knock-out
Dios estб en mi
Y el diablo estб en mi
Jugando al poker mis partes
El cerebro es para mi y yo quiero su corazуn
Y lo demas nutrirб los gusanos
Ya serй otro yo
Otro yo, otro, yo, otro yo
Otro mбs
Otro que era la pelea
Y vivirб otra vida llena de miseria
Serб siempre, siempre, siempre
Siempre, siempre, siempre igual
Jugando a ser actor y pъblico
A ser el ring y el luchador
Y ya no se donde estoy yo
Dios estб en mi
Y el diablo estб en mi
Susurrando a mis oнdos
Uno dice no, y el otro dice sн
Oigo a los dos y a ninguno hago caso
Y se van, se van, se van, se van
Sse van, se van, se van, se van...
The lyrics to Pedropiedra's song "Soy El Ring" (I Am the Ring) describe a battle within oneself between good and evil. The singer sees himself as a referee, a ring, the audience, and the two combatants in this internal struggle. He feels the presence of both God and the devil and compares the conflict to a boxing match, where both sides give and take equally. The singer acknowledges that one side may win on points, but neither will win by knockout. The parallel between the internal battle and a boxing match highlights the feeling of being at war with oneself.
In the second verse, the singer speaks of playing a game of poker with his parts, representing his different selves. He views his brain as valuable and wants his heart for himself, but the rest can go to the worms. He sees himself as constantly changing, preparing to become another version of himself. The line "jugando a ser actor y público" (playing to be the actor and audience) suggests that he is both performing this internal battle and experiencing it at the same time. However, he ultimately becomes lost in himself, unsure of who he is and where he stands.
The lyrics of "Soy El Ring" convey the struggle between light and dark and the difficulty of reconciling opposing parts of oneself. The comparison to a boxing match brings a physicality and intensity to this inner battle, and the idea of playing a game of poker with oneself underscores the notion of constantly transforming. Overall, the song captures the complexity of the human psyche and the difficulties of understanding and reconciling conflicting parts of oneself.
