Mi Propio Brujo

Peligrosos Gorriones' song 'Mi Propio Brujo' delves into the complexities of self-transformation and the internal battles that come with it. The lyrics speak to the various 'fortunes' or 'fates' that life has thrown at the narrator, symbolized by dice and cards. These elements represent the randomness and unpredictability of life, suggesting that the narrator has faced numerous challenges and opportunities over the years. The phrase 'Mi propio brujo' (My own wizard) implies a sense of self-reliance and the power to influence one's destiny, yet it also hints at the mystical and uncontrollable aspects of this power.

The narrator expresses a sense of entrapment and frustration, unable to let go of this 'wizard' within. Despite attempts to control or abandon this part of themselves, they find it impossible. This internal struggle is likened to a transformation into a 'bicho' (bug), a metaphor for feeling small, insignificant, or out of control. The repetition of 'laralara' adds a haunting, almost mocking tone, emphasizing the cyclical nature of this struggle.

As the song progresses, the narrator's feelings of regret and boredom become more pronounced. They are 'convinced' and 'bored,' indicating a deep-seated dissatisfaction with their current state. The desire for a 'día tranquilo' (quiet day) suggests a longing for peace and stability, away from the internal noise and chaos. This song captures the essence of the human condition, where the quest for self-improvement and control often leads to inner turmoil and a yearning for simplicity.
