El Enemigo
Satélite Kingston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no siente miedo sabe que es mas fuerte que vos
el enemigo tiene un arma que es mortal
no sabe usarla pero puede improvisar
un cigarrillo mas y va a volver a empezar
el enemigo se parece un poco a mi
el enemigo anota todo lo que ve
tiene tres caras y escamas bajo la piel
el enemigo ahora llora en un rincon
leyo las cartas que encontro en tu cajon
se siente debil piensa que todo termino
el enemigo se parece un poco a vos
haces estas cosas y despues se siente peor
sin saber porque

The singer sees similarities between the enemy and themselves, as they do things that make them feel worse without knowing why.
