Rosa Y Espinas

David Civera's song 'Rosa Y Espinas' delves into the tumultuous and painful experience of being in love with someone who is both captivating and destructive. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply entangled in a toxic relationship, where his love interest is metaphorically described as a rose with a million thorns. This imagery highlights the duality of beauty and pain, suggesting that while the woman is alluring and enchanting, she also brings immense suffering and heartache.

The protagonist admits to lying to his friend about his feelings for this woman, acknowledging that he is blinded by his love for her. He feels unworthy of his friend's support and friendship, recognizing that his actions are causing pain to those around him. The repeated phrase 'una y otra vez' (again and again) emphasizes the cyclical nature of his torment, as he finds himself repeatedly drawn back to this woman despite the agony she causes him. This cycle of attraction and punishment underscores the addictive and self-destructive nature of his love.

Civera's lyrics also explore themes of betrayal and self-awareness. The protagonist is aware that the woman has betrayed him and will likely continue to do so, yet he cannot break free from her hold. He describes her as a lover who 'contaminates' him, indicating that her influence is toxic and harmful. Despite this, he is unable to resist her allure, which leads to a continuous cycle of emotional turmoil. The song captures the essence of a love that is both passionate and poisonous, reflecting the complex and often contradictory nature of human emotions.
