Ojos De Serpiente

In 'Ojos De Serpiente,' Fito & Fitipaldis paint a vivid picture of the aftermath of a night of heavy partying. The song opens with the protagonist waking up to the harsh reality of the morning, feeling the physical and emotional toll of the previous night's excesses. The lyrics 'el espejo nunca miente' (the mirror never lies) and 'tengo la lengua marrón y los ojos de serpiente' (I have a brown tongue and snake eyes) highlight the stark and unflattering self-reflection that comes with a hangover. The use of 'snake eyes' metaphorically suggests a sense of deceit or danger, perhaps hinting at the self-destructive behavior that led to this state.

As the song progresses, the protagonist struggles to piece together the events of the night, admitting to a loss of memory and a sense of disorientation. The line 'el cerebro lo he perdido' (I've lost my brain) captures the feeling of mental fog and regret. Despite the physical discomfort and the promise to change, the protagonist finds themselves lighting another cigarette, symbolizing the difficulty of breaking free from harmful habits.

The narrative continues with a reflection on the allure of the bar, a place that seems to always lead to trouble. The protagonist acknowledges the repetitive cycle of making promises to be better, only to fall back into the same patterns. The final lines, 'ayer dije nunca más pero no oigo lo que digo' (yesterday I said never again, but I don't hear what I say), encapsulate the internal conflict and the struggle to break free from a cycle of self-destructive behavior. This song serves as a candid exploration of the consequences of indulgence and the difficulty of making lasting change.
