Canibal

Arawato's song 'Canibal' delves into the intense and often overwhelming nature of desire and obsession. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone in search of a solution, grappling with the timing of words and the passage of time. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the consuming nature of their feelings. The metaphor of 'probar tu carne' (tasting your flesh) as 'probar a Dios' (tasting God) suggests an almost divine or transcendent experience, highlighting the intensity and sacredness of their desire.

The chorus, with its repetition of 'probar tu carne' and 'me causa hambre' (it makes me hungry), emphasizes the insatiable hunger and longing the speaker feels. This hunger is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, as indicated by the comparison to tasting God. The voice of the desired person is also a source of this hunger, suggesting that every aspect of their being is intoxicating and addictive.

The lyrics also touch on the pain and uncontrollable nature of this addiction. The line 'conocerte es como una adicción que duele' (knowing you is like an addiction that hurts) reveals the duality of pleasure and pain in their obsession. The speaker's need is so profound that it becomes a necessity, something they cannot control. This portrayal of desire as both a divine experience and a painful addiction offers a complex and nuanced view of human emotions, making 'Canibal' a powerful exploration of the darker sides of love and longing.
