La Flor de Bagdad

Los Amantes De Lola's song 'La Flor de Bagdad' delves into the mysterious and often perilous allure of the unknown, symbolized by the titular 'flower of Baghdad.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place in the East where dreams and rituals are sold without crime or punishment, hinting at a world where moral boundaries are blurred. This 'temple of pleasure and greed' is a metaphor for the seductive yet dangerous nature of desires and temptations that can change, burn, and silence anyone who falls under their spell.

The repeated refrain, 'A todos cambia, a todos quema, a todos calla, La flor de Bagdad,' emphasizes the transformative and destructive power of this metaphorical flower. It suggests that no one is immune to its effects, highlighting the universal vulnerability to temptation and the inevitable consequences that follow. The flower serves as a symbol of both allure and peril, capable of altering one's reality and silencing their voice.

The song also warns of the deceptive nature of these temptations. The line 'Dentro el sueño se convierte en pesadilla, y al despertar desierto eres presa de rapiña' suggests that what begins as a dream can quickly turn into a nightmare, leaving one vulnerable and exposed. The cautionary advice to ignore the seductive perfume of magic and the aroma of the uncertain underscores the importance of resisting these dangerous lures. Los Amantes De Lola use rich, evocative imagery to convey a timeless message about the risks of succumbing to the enchanting yet perilous unknown.
