Su Ciervo

Babasónicos' song 'Su Ciervo' delves into the complex interplay between desire, submission, and the allure of temptation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is willingly ensnared by a powerful, almost mystical force. The imagery of being collared and drinking from a 'dopa-oreja dopamina' suggests a deep, almost addictive connection to this force, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a toxic relationship or an overpowering addiction. The protagonist's willingness to endure pain and rebirth for the sake of this connection highlights the depth of their entanglement.

The recurring theme of subjugation and the struggle for autonomy is evident throughout the song. The protagonist is condemned to feel the anguish of their captor, defending themselves against selfishness, yet paradoxically choosing this torment repeatedly. This duality is further emphasized by the references to divine guilt and the devil's deceit. The lyrics suggest a battle between moral righteousness and the seductive pull of sin, with the protagonist caught in the middle, unable to escape the cycle of temptation and repentance.

The song also explores the idea of illusion and falsehood. The repeated line 'mires donde mires nunca hay poniente es falso' (wherever you look, there is no sunset, it's false) underscores a sense of disillusionment and the realization that the promises of pleasure and fulfillment are ultimately hollow. The imagery of being surrounded by fetishes and objects of power, and the devil's flattering lies, further illustrate the deceptive nature of the temptations that ensnare the protagonist. In the end, the song leaves us with a haunting image of a girl trapped in the devil's throat, symbolizing the inescapable grip of these dark forces.
