Tanto Anteojo
Divididos Lyrics

The lyrics to Divididos’ song Tanto Anteojo paint a picture of a heavy rock music and literature scene. The song references a clinic or gathering place for rock music, where attendees are waiting in anticipation (“Pinceletas en vigilia”) and the feverish excitement of the authors in attendance (“Baba de un author”). The lines “Esquivando los chichones, Migazo why copetín” suggest this scene is not for the faint of heart, as it’s a rowdy environment where injuries may occur and alcohol flows freely.

The chorus proclaims “Humedad de alma, humedad de alma gaucha,” which roughly translates to “Humidity of the soul, gaucho humidity of the soul.” This enigmatic line suggests that the experience of being immersed in this intense subculture of rock music and literature has a profound effect on the spirit of those who engage with it. The song then moves into a verse about a “Charlatán de sexo de antes” (“Charlatan of sex from before”), possibly a reference to a 1960s or 1970s sexual revolution icon or author. The song concludes with the lines “Por drogado a bellas artes” (“For being drugged at fine arts”) and “Narigón del siglo, yo te dejo perfumado en la esquina para siempre” (“Big nose of the century, I leave you perfumed on the corner forever”), suggesting a final farewell or tribute to someone who has become an icon in this scene.
