Su Majestad

Babasónicos' song 'Su Majestad' delves into themes of control, submission, and the loss of individuality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels dominated by an overpowering force, referred to as 'Su Majestad' or 'His Majesty.' This entity is depicted as having the power to manipulate and reshape the boundaries of the subject's world, creating a kingdom where the subject is a loyal servant. The repeated line 'A sus pies su ciervo soy' ('At his feet, I am his servant') underscores the depth of this submission and the relinquishing of personal will.

The song uses metaphors to convey the emotional and psychological impact of this control. Phrases like 'envidias a todos ego célula' ('you envy everyone, ego cell') and 'no canibalices mi emoción' ('don't cannibalize my emotion') suggest a struggle against an invasive force that consumes and diminishes the subject's sense of self. The imagery of being dragged among stones and transformed into a goat or eunuch further emphasizes the dehumanizing effect of this domination. The mention of mixing blood with nectar and the subsequent loss of will ('voluntad se me va, abandono el ser') symbolizes a complete surrender to this overpowering influence.

Culturally, Babasónicos is known for their eclectic and often provocative style, blending rock with various other genres and exploring complex themes in their lyrics. 'Su Majestad' fits within this framework, offering a critique of power dynamics and the ways in which individuals can be subjugated by external forces. The song's haunting melody and evocative lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with authority and control, making it a powerful piece both musically and thematically.
