El Oro Y La Maldad

La Trampa's song 'El Oro Y La Maldad' delves into the complex relationship between wealth and evil, exploring how these elements impact human lives. The lyrics open with a sense of urgency, urging the listener not to look back or run away, suggesting that the trials and tribulations we face are transient, much like the wind or evil itself. This sets the stage for a deeper reflection on the nature of fear and the masks people wear to hide their true intentions.

The song then shifts to a more introspective tone, encouraging a fearless and tearless approach to life. The metaphor of a shepherd without faith whose flock has already left paints a picture of lost guidance and direction. The imagery of 'teeth in the darkness' and the juxtaposition of 'El Oro Y La Maldad' (Gold and Evil) highlight the lurking dangers and the corrupting influence of wealth. This duality is a central theme, questioning how life would be without the corrupting forces of gold and evil.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics offer a glimmer of hope, envisioning a world where angelic beings protect us, and the malevolent forces no longer harm our hearts. This utopian vision contrasts sharply with the earlier dark imagery, emphasizing the longing for a purer, kinder existence. The repeated question, '¿Cómo será sin oro ni maldad?' (How would it be without gold or evil?), serves as a poignant reminder of the potential for a better world, free from the corrupting influences that currently plague it.
