Amor de Madre (feat. La Puri y Manuel El Popeye)

HAZE's song 'Amor de Madre (feat. La Puri y Manuel El Popeye)' delves deep into the grim and oppressive world of prison life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's experiences in Soto del Real, a well-known prison in Spain. The song opens with the protagonist recounting his incarceration due to a robbery, highlighting the harsh conditions he faces: no television, no tobacco, and no money. The repetitive nature of his imprisonment is emphasized, as he mentions being recognized by the prison staff from previous incarcerations. This cyclical pattern of crime and punishment underscores the sense of hopelessness and entrapment felt by many inmates.

The song's chorus, 'De cunda, de cunda, de cunda voy, De talego a talego, De aquí para allá,' reflects the constant movement from one prison to another, a never-ending cycle of confinement. The protagonist's determination to remain strong and not give in to the provocations of the guards is palpable. He describes the physical and psychological abuse he endures, from being beaten to being isolated in a dark, foul-smelling cell. The mention of 'amor de madre' (mother's love) and 'libertad para los presos' (freedom for the prisoners) adds a poignant touch, reminding listeners of the human connections and the yearning for freedom that persist even in the darkest of places.

The song's climax is both tragic and liberating. The protagonist expresses a sense of freedom as he contemplates his death, feeling that only in death will he truly escape the confines of prison. The repeated line 'Voy a volar' (I will fly) symbolizes this ultimate release from suffering. HAZE's raw and unfiltered portrayal of prison life, combined with the emotional weight of the lyrics, offers a powerful commentary on the dehumanizing effects of the prison system and the enduring hope for liberation.
