Todos los ahorcados mueren empalmados

Siniestro Total's song "Todos los ahorcados mueren empalmados" ("All the Hanged Die Aroused") is a provocative and darkly humorous exploration of death, specifically the act of hanging. The lyrics describe the experience of a person who is about to be executed by hanging, but instead of fear or regret, the protagonist feels a sense of indifference and even amusement. The song opens with the protagonist describing the noose being placed around their neck and the serious faces of those around them, but they remain unfazed, finding the situation almost enjoyable.

The chorus, "Porque todos los ahorcados mueren empalmados" ("Because all the hanged die aroused"), adds a layer of dark humor and irony. It suggests that even in death, there is a bizarre and unexpected reaction, challenging the solemnity typically associated with execution. The protagonist's nonchalant attitude continues as they describe their legs hanging and the fulfillment of the sentence, finding humor in the situation and mocking those who take it seriously. The song ends with the protagonist left alone in the courtyard, reflecting that the brief experience was worth it, reinforcing the theme of finding absurdity in the face of death.

Siniestro Total, known for their punk rock style and satirical lyrics, uses this song to challenge societal norms and provoke thought about the nature of death and the human response to it. The band's irreverent approach and dark humor invite listeners to question their own perceptions of mortality and the rituals surrounding it. The song's blend of macabre imagery and humor creates a unique commentary on the inevitability of death and the ways people cope with it.
