Emboscados
Saiko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maltrataron la verdad
Y nos dieron un final
No nos quisieron ayudar
Dijo alguien alguien tiempo atrás
Y se ponen a jugar
Criticar también matar
Y nos van calmando en paz
Comenzaron el ritual
Entre ojeras y espejos
Prefiero ir a tu piel
Aceitunada y sin descanso
A tus labios y tus ojos de bengala
Los que brillan a la vez
Tan castigados en un ritual desnudos

No nos quisieron ayudar
Dijo alguien tiempo atrás
Maltrataron la verdad
Y nos dieron un final
Y ah ay





Emboscados entre sombras
Espejismos de un ritual

Overall Meaning

In Saiko's song "Emboscados," the lyrics touch upon themes such as betrayal, criticism, and a desire for peace. The first few lines of the song ("Maltrataron la verdad/ Y nos dieron un final/ No nos quisieron ayudar/ Dijo alguien tiempo atrás") translate to "They mistreated the truth/ And gave us an end/ They didn't want to help us/ Someone said some time ago". These lines seem to suggest a feeling of disappointment in someone or something that failed to live up to expectations, and instead caused harm or negative consequences.


Later in the song, the lyrics mention a ritual ("Comenzaron el ritual/ Entre ojeras y espejos"), which seems to be a metaphor for a harmful or toxic dynamic that the singer is trying to escape from. The following lines express a longing for a different, healthier kind of connection ("Prefiero ir a tu piel/ Aceitunada y sin descanso/ A tus labios y tus ojos de bengala/ Los que brillan a la vez"). The final lines of the song ("Emboscados entre sombras/ Espejismos de un ritual") circle back to the idea of being trapped in a negative cycle, with the addition of the term "espejismos" (mirages), implying that the situation might not be as it seems.
