Sobre Las Vías Del Tren

“Sobre Las Vías Del Tren” by Mar De Copas is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the journey of life. The song uses the metaphor of a train journey to depict the emotional highs and lows experienced in a relationship. The opening lines, “Amanecer y yo en tu piel, viajo el mundo entero, sólo un pasajero en las vías del tren,” set the stage for a narrative where the protagonist feels like a mere passenger in the vast journey of love, highlighting a sense of transience and impermanence.

The lyrics delve into the complexities of love, where the protagonist acknowledges the end of a relationship with lines like “Tu viajar, tu jugar, ya no pueden continuar, sigue tú, juega y di, yo aposté y perdí.” This suggests a realization that despite their efforts, the relationship has reached its conclusion. The recurring theme of playing cards symbolizes the risks and uncertainties inherent in love, where sometimes one wins, and other times, one loses. The protagonist’s acceptance of loss is evident in the lines, “si es que alguna vez gané, así aprendí, que no hice yo más que perder.”

The song also touches on the idea of moving forward despite heartbreak. The repeated refrain, “Y sigues tú, aún quedan cartas por jugar, y ya lo ves, todavía puedes continuar,” serves as a reminder that life goes on, and there are still opportunities ahead. The imagery of the train and the station symbolizes the continuous journey of life and love, where people come and go, but the journey never truly ends. The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of love and the resilience required to keep moving forward.
