The Downfall of the Boastful: A Tale of Humility

Lujuria's song "Por La Boca Muere El Pez" is a satirical narrative that delves into the consequences of arrogance and empty boasting. The title itself, which translates to "The Fish Dies by the Mouth," is a Spanish proverb that suggests that those who talk too much often end up in trouble. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is overly confident and boastful about his sexual prowess, only to face a series of humiliating revelations that expose his true nature.

The song begins with a wise saying about dogs that bark the most getting the least of the pie, drawing a parallel to people who boast without substance. The protagonist of the song is described as a braggart who claims to be a ladies' man, earning the nickname "the postman" for his supposed ability to deliver his "package" to every woman he meets. However, his bravado is undermined when he finally finds a girlfriend, and people are puzzled about what she sees in him. Despite his satisfaction and pride, the song hints at his underlying insecurities and the facade he maintains.

The climax of the song comes when the protagonist decides to get a vasectomy after fathering four children, only to discover that he is actually sterile. This revelation not only shatters his self-image but also implies that his partner has been unfaithful, adding a layer of irony and further humiliation. The repeated refrain about "fantasmas" (ghosts) having horns alludes to the idea of being cuckolded, a common symbol of infidelity. Through its humorous yet biting lyrics, the song serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of arrogance and the importance of humility.
