Veneno Para Las Hadas

Los Carniceros Del Norte's song 'Veneno Para Las Hadas' delves into a dark and mystical world where innocence and malevolence intertwine. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young girl with golden hair who, despite her innocent appearance, engages in sinister activities. She is not just a child but a self-proclaimed witch, interacting with owls and performing dark rituals in a room of punishment. This duality of innocence and darkness is a recurring theme, as she builds castles in the garden of dreams while simultaneously engaging in macabre acts like sacrificing children and cooking old women.

The song's chorus, 'Por eso nosotras les damos veneno para las hadas,' translates to 'That's why we give them poison for the fairies.' This line suggests a deep-seated animosity between witches and fairies, with the witches retaliating against the fairies' hatred. The repeated invocation of the 'black queen' further emphasizes the dark, regal power that the witches wield. The lyrics also mention various elements of witchcraft, such as hermetic sciences, enchantments, and deadly herbs, which contribute to the song's eerie and mystical atmosphere.

The imagery in the song is rich with references to the occult and the supernatural. The mention of a headless cobra, a night of mercury stained black, and a haunted house where beauty is cooked from the remnants of death all contribute to the song's haunting narrative. The witches' disdain for the fairies is rooted in the fairies' inability to possess the moon and its reflection in the witch's mirror, symbolizing a deeper, perhaps unattainable, desire for power and beauty. This song is a dark exploration of the themes of power, revenge, and the supernatural, wrapped in a gothic, almost cinematic, narrative.
