Prohibido

El Mastuerzo's song "Prohibido" is a powerful anthem of rebellion and nonconformity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels like an outcast, a renegade living on the fringes of society. The opening lines, "Aquí estoy detrás de mi nariz / Bohemio renegado, sin destino," set the tone for the song, introducing the protagonist as a bohemian rebel without a clear path. This character is depicted as a disillusioned individual, someone who feels like a mistake or an error, yet embraces their identity as a transgressor and a misfit.

The song delves deeper into the protagonist's sense of alienation and defiance. Lines like "Exiliado en el descaro de vivir / Como un tumor maligno en tu sonrisa" highlight the character's self-imposed exile and the bitterness they feel towards societal norms. The imagery of being a malignant tumor in someone's smile underscores the protagonist's role as a disruptor, someone who challenges the status quo and refuses to conform. The repeated refrain, "Y estoy aquí, oculto en el rincón de lo prohibido," emphasizes the character's existence in the forbidden corners of society, constantly evading capture and living a clandestine life.

El Mastuerzo's lyrics also touch on themes of solidarity and shared struggle. The line "Verás que no estoy solo / Somos muchos los proscritos" reveals that the protagonist is not alone in their defiance; there are many others who share their fate as outcasts and rebels. This sense of community among the marginalized is a powerful statement about the strength and resilience of those who live on the fringes. The song ultimately conveys a message of perseverance and hope, as the protagonist clings to their "sueño clandestino," or clandestine dream, despite the challenges they face.
