Estrógeno

Caramelos De Cianuro's song 'Estrógeno' delves into the intoxicating and often overwhelming nature of attraction and desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is utterly captivated by a woman, to the point where he is willing to transform himself entirely for her. The metaphor of being a 'perro faldero' (lapdog) instead of a 'perro callejero' (stray dog) signifies his readiness to abandon his wild, untamed ways in favor of devotion and loyalty. This transformation is further emphasized by his willingness to take on various roles, from being the 'most grosero' (rude) plumber to the 'most cotizado' (sought-after) bachelor, all to win her favor.

The song also explores the dynamic of power and control within the relationship. The woman is described as a 'maestra más siniestra' (most sinister teacher) who instructs and trains him, while he is the 'adolescente más obediente' (most obedient adolescent), eager to please and be favored. This dynamic is both erotic and submissive, highlighting the complexities of their interaction. The repeated references to 'estrógeno' (estrogen) as 'adictivo' (addictive) and 'alucinógeno' (hallucinogenic) underscore the powerful, almost drug-like effect she has on him. Her presence is both a blessing and a curse, something he cannot resist despite its overwhelming nature.

The song's chorus, with its hypnotic repetition of 'Tu estrógeno, es adictivo es alucinógeno,' serves as a mantra that encapsulates the essence of his infatuation. The lyrics suggest that their connection is primal, driven by their 'cromosomas' (chromosomes) and 'hormonas' (hormones), making it an inescapable part of their being. This biological and chemical attraction is depicted as a 'fenómeno' (phenomenon), something extraordinary and beyond rational explanation. Through its poetic and metaphorical language, 'Estrógeno' captures the raw, unfiltered essence of desire and the lengths one might go to satisfy it.
