Santos Del Pecado

Tragico Ballet's 'Santos Del Pecado' delves into the dark and complex interplay between sin, love, and morality. The song's title, which translates to 'Saints of Sin,' sets the stage for a narrative that challenges traditional notions of devotion and purity. The opening lines, 'Hemos perdido la devoción / Entre santos del pecado,' suggest a loss of faith amidst a world where sin and sanctity coexist. This juxtaposition is further emphasized by the imagery of 'mil altares para el dolor' (a thousand altars for pain) and 'cien remedios sin bendición' (a hundred remedies without blessing), painting a picture of a society where suffering is both worshipped and inadequately addressed.

The lyrics continue to explore the theme of corrupted emotions, describing feelings as 'prostitutas' (prostitutes) that leave a lasting infection on the soul. This metaphor highlights the transactional and tainted nature of modern love and relationships. The call to 'violemos juntos a la confusión' (let's violate confusion together) with a 'poema escaso de pasión' (a poem lacking passion) suggests a desire to confront and disrupt the chaos of these corrupted emotions, albeit in a detached and dispassionate manner.

The chorus, with its vivid and provocative imagery, 'Deshidrata mi espíritu y conviértelo en el vino / Que lo beba tu sexo asesino,' speaks to a transformation of the spirit into something consumable and intoxicating, to be devoured by a 'murderous sex.' This line, along with references to 'hormonas en almíbar' (hormones in syrup) and 'instinto' (instinct), underscores the primal and hedonistic aspects of human nature. The song concludes with a rejection of traditional romance and purity, labeling them as obsolete and infernal, and instead embraces a libertine diary of madness and pleasure.

'Santos Del Pecado' is a bold and unflinching examination of the complexities of human desire, morality, and the often blurred lines between sanctity and sin. It challenges listeners to reflect on their own perceptions of love, faith, and the inherent contradictions within.
