The Savage Cycle of History in 'Mecosario'
Brujeria's song 'Mecosario' is a raw and provocative commentary on the cyclical nature of human savagery and violence. The band, known for their extreme metal style and controversial themes, uses vivid and brutal imagery to draw parallels between ancient and modern times. The term 'Mecosario' itself is a blend of 'meco' (a vulgar term for semen) and 'dinosaurio' (dinosaur), suggesting a primal, monstrous force that has persisted through the ages.
The lyrics begin by referencing dinosaurs, creatures that once roamed the earth, consuming fresh meat. This imagery is then juxtaposed with modern men who also seek 'carne fresa' (fresh meat), implying a continued, almost animalistic drive for dominance and satisfaction. The song suggests that men become 'cabrones' (bastards) when they are not 'descargan' (released), hinting at the destructive potential of repressed desires.
The chorus, repeating 'Mecosario,' reinforces the idea of a monstrous, hybrid being that embodies both human and beastly traits. The reference to Romans as 'meco-monstruos' who won wars to 'cojerse viejas' (take women) further illustrates the historical continuity of this brutal behavior. The warning to 'cuiden sus colitas' (watch their tails) when these 'Mecosarios' come, serves as a stark reminder of the ever-present threat of such primal forces.
The repetition of 'Ya sabes que la historia se repite' (You know that history repeats itself) drives home the song's central message: the savage and violent tendencies of humanity are not relics of the past but are recurring patterns that continue to shape our present and future. Brujeria's 'Mecosario' is a powerful, if unsettling, reflection on the darker aspects of human nature and the inescapable cycles of history.
