Soledad

La Trampa's song 'Soledad' delves deep into the complex emotions surrounding loneliness and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with solitude, yet finding a strange comfort in it. The opening lines, 'Nada te ha desfigurado / Ni las sombras que te apretan,' suggest that despite the challenges and changes life brings, the essence of loneliness remains unaltered. This personification of loneliness as a constant companion is both haunting and comforting, reflecting the duality of human emotions.

The song continues to explore the theme of time and its impact on relationships and memories. 'Hace tiempo nuevas vidas envejecen nuestra historia' speaks to the inevitable aging of shared histories and the fading of once-vivid memories. The imagery of 'Arde la sangre en mis puños como tú en el corazón' conveys a sense of burning passion and pain, highlighting the intensity of the emotions tied to loneliness. The walls that 'te sostienen todavía las paredes de alquiler' symbolize the transient nature of life and the temporary shelters we find in our journey.

In the final verses, the song takes on a more introspective tone. 'Sobre el eco de los años sigo escuchando tu voz' suggests that the echoes of the past continue to resonate, keeping the memories alive. The act of writing the name of loneliness 'sobre el escalón de la muerte' signifies a desire to immortalize this companion, ensuring it is not forgotten even in death. The closing lines, 'Que si tú te olvidas yo te lo recuerdo / Querida compañera mía / Querida soledad,' encapsulate the bittersweet relationship with loneliness, acknowledging it as a dear companion that has been both a source of pain and solace.
