Afrodisíacos

Soda Stereo's song 'Afrodisíacos' delves into the mysterious and intoxicating experiences of a night filled with passion and uncertainty. The lyrics open with the protagonist waking up with cold feet, both literally and metaphorically, as they try to piece together the events of the previous night. The questions 'Where are you?' and 'What happened last night?' suggest a sense of disorientation and a search for clarity amidst the haze of memories.

The imagery of a 'vague smell' and 'stains on the ceiling' paints a picture of a wild, almost surreal night. The repeated phrase 'bailando hasta cambiar la piel' (dancing until changing the skin) evokes a sense of transformation and shedding of old identities through the act of dancing. This metaphor suggests that the night was not just about physical movement but also about a deeper, almost primal change within the individuals involved.

The mention of 'sorbiendo esa pocion salvaje' (sipping that wild potion) and the repeated invocation of 'afrodisiacos' points to the consumption of something that heightens the senses and blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. The 'veneno en mis espaldas' (poison on my back) could symbolize the lingering effects of this intoxicating experience, both pleasurable and potentially harmful. Soda Stereo, known for their poetic and often enigmatic lyrics, uses these metaphors to explore themes of desire, transformation, and the ephemeral nature of such intense experiences.
