Hombrelobo

In 'Hombrelobo,' Eté & Los Problems delve into the complexities of identity and transformation. The song's title, which translates to 'Werewolf,' sets the stage for a narrative that explores the tension between one's human and beastly sides. The opening lines, 'Hay algo tenso en el aire / Hay cierta electricidad,' immediately create an atmosphere of unease and anticipation, suggesting an imminent change or revelation. This tension is further emphasized by the silence of the birds, a metaphor for the natural world's reaction to the protagonist's inner turmoil.

The lyrics 'A veces parezco otro / A veces no sé quien soy' highlight the protagonist's struggle with their dual nature. The imagery of breathing through the mouth and stretching forward evokes a sense of primal instinct taking over, as if the human facade is slipping away to reveal the beast within. The 'hilo de plata' or 'silver thread' symbolizes the fragile connection between the two identities. The fear of this thread breaking and unleashing the beast suggests a loss of control, a theme that resonates with the werewolf mythos.

As the song progresses, the protagonist embraces their transformation, 'Voy a mirar por sus ojos / Todo se vuelve mas claro.' This acceptance brings clarity, albeit through the lens of the beast. The repeated lines about stretching forward and escaping into the night signify a surrender to this other self, a journey into the unknown. The song captures the essence of grappling with one's inner demons and the liberation that comes from acknowledging and integrating these darker aspects of the self. Eté & Los Problems use vivid metaphors and a haunting melody to convey the universal struggle of identity and self-acceptance.
