Mas Poder

La Sarita's song 'Mas Poder' delves into the intoxicating and often corrupting nature of power. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an individual who is consumed by the desire for control and dominance. The opening lines describe a person who was always at the top in academic settings, with others vying for their notes and favor. This early taste of influence sets the stage for a lifelong obsession with power, where the protagonist revels in the subservience of others, finding immense pleasure in their submission.

As the song progresses, the narrative takes a darker turn. The protagonist admits to destroying enemies and exploiting friends, distributing positions of power as they see fit. This behavior is likened to flies eating excrement from their 'black hand,' a metaphor for the corrupt and dirty nature of their dealings. The protagonist's power is absolute, and they take pride in the fact that no one dares to challenge them. The repeated refrain of 'aluciné que tenia poder' (I hallucinated that I had power) underscores the delusional and addictive quality of their quest for control.

The final verses introduce a surreal element, with references to a 'ray of sun' and a 'military dragon' that nourishes the protagonist's power. These images suggest that their rise to power is not only self-made but also supported by external forces, possibly hinting at political or military alliances. The song concludes with the protagonist becoming bloated and eventually bursting from their insatiable hunger for power, a stark warning about the dangers of unchecked ambition. 'Mas Poder' serves as a powerful critique of the corrupting influence of power and the lengths to which individuals will go to attain and maintain it.
