Madame Siamés
Enjambre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aliento a cerezas
Tiene dos corazones
Con distintas reacciones
Su vientre es enorme
Ella nunca lo esconde
Ahora cuando le hablo
Una de sus dos cabezas
Es la que me besa
La otra con su misterio
Me hace un hombre serio
Una me divierte
La otra me advierte
En crueles consecuencias
Mi novia tiene dos cabezas
Las dos en una
Se encargan de dominar
Como la luna
Con las dos quiero siempre estar
Con las dos quiero estar
The lyrics to Enjambre's song "Madame Siamés" describe a unique and surreal character, the singer's girlfriend, who possesses two heads, two hearts, and a large belly. The two heads have different personalities and functions, one of them is playful and affectionate, while the other is serious and warning the singer about the cruel consequences of his actions. The singer seems to be attracted to both of her heads, and he wants to be with both of them as he feels they complement each other like the moon. Although it is a surreal and fantastic concept, the song could be interpreted as a metaphor about a complex and challenging romantic relationship, where the two partners have different sides to their personality or moods that may clash or complement each other.
One interesting fact about the song is that the title "Madame Siamés" is a play on words, combining the French word "Madame" (Mrs.) and "Siamese," referring to the famous conjoined twins from Siam (now Thailand) Chang and Eng Bunker. Another fact is that the music video for the song features the band members performing on a stage with visuals of a circus and a woman with two heads projected behind them. The video was directed by visual artist and filmmaker Rodrigo Guardiola. Also, the song's lyrics were written by vocalist Ivan Sánchez, and the music was composed by the band's bassist, Rafael Navejas.
Furthermore, "Madame Siamés" is part of Enjambre's third album titled "Daltónico," which was released in 2010. The album was well received by both fans and critics and earned the band a nomination for Best Alternative album at the Latin Grammy Awards in 2011. Additionally, Enjambre is a Mexican indie rock band formed in 2005 in Santa Ana, California, by a group of longtime friends from Zacatecas, Mexico. The band's name means "Swarm" in Spanish, reflecting their collective and collaborative approach to making music.
In terms of the song's chords, they are as follows:
Intro: Gm - A# - F - D#
Verse: Gm - A# - F - D#
Chorus: Gm - D# - A# - F
Overall, "Madame Siamés" is a fascinating and imaginative song that showcases Enjambre's creativity and unique style. The lyrics and music blend surrealism, romanticism, and rock, making it a memorable and enjoyable listening experience.
