Cruz de navajas
Fey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero Mario no sale hasta las seis
Y si encima le toca ser caja
Despidete
Casi siempre se le hace de dia
Mientras Maria
Ya se ha puesto en pie
Ha hecho la casa
Y lo espera medio desnuda
Mario llega cansado, saluda
Su mucho afan
Quiere cama para traviar
Y Maria se moja las ganas con el cafe
The lyrics of "Cruz de navajas" by Fey speak of the complex relationship dynamic between Mario and Maria. The song begins by telling us that the bar where they work closes at five, but the singer Mario doesn't leave until six, and if he has to take care of the cash register or close out for the night, Maria shouldn't expect him earlier. Maria, who is always up and about early in the morning, has already gotten started with the day's chores by the time Mario gets home, which is usually after daybreak. As she awaits Mario's arrival, half-naked and drinking coffee, Mario takes his time and finally returns home exhausted from work. While Mario is ready for bed and to rest, Maria has already had coffee, and her wants and desires remain unfulfilled. The song hints at the idea of communication, stress at work, and unfulfilled desires, as well as the sacrifice of one partner over the other.
The lyrics' melody and the instrumentation are dark, melancholic, and almost somber, conveying the monotony and drudgery of their daily routine. The song's title, "Cruz de navajas," translates to "Cross of Knives," and the chorus' lyrics mention these knives crossing; the metaphor represents the couple's struggles, disagreements and tensions. The song doesn't draw a conclusion to the couple's relationship; instead, it offers a carefully crafted and introspective view of their daily lives, which can quickly turn into a vicious cycle if left unchecked.

Hahaha well, no. No one is sure if Fey is a Satanic witch, but the lyrics of this song are surely very disturbing, to say the least

Fey is a Satanic Witch. Everybody knows that in Mexico, and this is her most openly Satanic song. "Siento" was a focus of controversy in 2002 because of that reason
