Lengua de Serpiente

Blake's 'Lengua de Serpiente' is a powerful exploration of societal hypocrisy, personal resilience, and the artist's disdain for deceit and superficiality. The title, which translates to 'Tongue of the Serpent,' metaphorically represents the deceitful and harmful elements within society that the artist confronts throughout the song. The repeated lines about not being blind but rather seeing the reality ('No es que estemos ciegos, es que lo vemos') emphasize the artist's awareness and unwillingness to be deceived or manipulated.

The lyrics delve into themes of authenticity and survival in a world filled with falsehoods. Blake discusses the struggles of maintaining integrity in an environment where people often succumb to pretense and dishonesty for personal gain ('¿Pero qué sabrán las lenguas de serpiente?'). He uses strong imagery, such as 'te voy a arrancar el cráneo,' to signify his readiness to confront and eliminate deceit before it harms him. This aggressive stance highlights his determination to remain true to himself and his values, despite external pressures.

Moreover, Blake touches on societal double standards and the challenges of living up to one's principles. He criticizes the different societal expectations placed on men and women, and the superficial values promoted by popular culture. His commitment to changing the music scene and maintaining his unique style and message ('Pienso cambiar la música y todo lo establecido') showcases his desire to influence and reshape the industry according to his vision, free from the 'venom' of insincerity that he so vehemently opposes.
