Amiga Soledad

'Tranquilo triste corazón,
no llores más por mí,
estaré bien

En la frontera en la que estoy
puedo morir o revivir,
huir de ti.

He vuelto a mí y no sé quien soy
por no tener, no tengo ni mi ser.

La gente es lo que no ves detrás de la verdad hay algo más.

Soledad, compañera de esperar soledad,
como podría cambiar
de mis sueños el final.

Todo amor es un dolor
nos llega sin pedir
ni un solo beso

La vida pasa frente a mí
mis amigos ya no están
hay que seguir

A quién hablar sola y frente a mí?
Sin un espejo a quien mentir

La gente es lo que no ves
detrás de la verdad hay algo más.

Soledad, compañera de esperar soledad,
como podría cambiar
de mis sueños el final.

Soledad, compañera de esperar soledad,
como podría cambiar
de mis sueños el final.

No me queda otro disfraz
ni alma que vestir
no soy yo y tú quien serás?'

The symbolisms used in here....Well, in the beginning, she's telling her heart not to cry for her anymore. I think her heart is actually someone she's telling not to worry about her anymore. In the second verse, the way I see it is that wherever she is, whatever happens to her, no one really cares, but she doesn't care either, as long as she can run away from this person, because...Because the other person's concern is something she doesn't deserve and she feels totally guilty for it. (Okay, I'm throwing my own ideas here...) In that place, she's all alone, she has nothing, not even herself, the people around her are all strangers, she seeks something else, answers to her troubled life. All she has is her friend loneliness.

I don't really see any metaphors in this. The meaning of this song...She feels trapped in herself. Trapped in whatever istakes she has committed that have led her to being alone, with no friends, no family, not even a mirror to look and and lie to even herself. She can't scream out loud her sorrow, her loneliness, her sadness, she has decided to leave her mistakes and the damage they have caused behind to leave to an unknown, painful place, in which she has no way of covering her grief, yet nobody cares to see it even when it's so obvious.
