Historias Prohibidas (Nos Tiramos a Joder)
Extremoduro
Forbidden Tales of Rebellion and Regret
Extremoduro's song "Historias Prohibidas (Nos Tiramos a Joder)" delves into the raw and unfiltered experiences of a life marked by rebellion, regret, and the pursuit of forbidden pleasures. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past filled with hardship and defiance, where the protagonist recalls a time when survival was a struggle, and societal norms were cast aside. The opening lines set the stage for a narrative that no one dared to tell, hinting at the taboo nature of the experiences being recounted.
The song's protagonist reflects on a time when they had to kill their prejudices and embrace a life of excess and rebellion. The imagery of eating ice and vomiting without rest underscores the physical and emotional toll of this lifestyle. The mention of whiskey seeping through the skin symbolizes the deep-seated need for escape and the numbing of pain through substance abuse. This period of life is marked by a sense of being forbidden, an awareness of living on the edge of societal acceptance.
As the song progresses, the protagonist reveals the personal cost of their actions. They confess to stealing years of tranquility from their father and leaving countless secrets unconfessed to their mother. The loss of calm and the encounter with an enemy in a bad dream highlight the internal and external conflicts faced. The song concludes with a sense of lingering bitterness and a cyclical struggle between the desire to start anew and the urge to end it all. The repeated plea to be spoken to, despite being forbidden, underscores the longing for connection and understanding amidst the chaos.
