Maria
Guano Apes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maria

Raw muscles in you
And you kill for the thrill to get into this
Might not be sure
To get into the sin for the human race

Maria

Raw muscles in you
And you kiss for the thrill to get into this
Might not be sure
To get into the sin for the human race





Give it up and give up

Overall Meaning

"Maria," by Guano Apes, is an intriguing song that seems to center around the idea of lust and the powerful emotions associated with it. The lyrics describe a character named Maria, who is characterized by her "raw muscles" and her willingness to "kill for the thrill" of getting involved in something taboo. The singer seems to be conflicted about whether or not Maria is truly sure about her desires, questioning whether she is truly "sure to get into the sin for the human race."


The song can be interpreted in a number of different ways, but one possible interpretation is that it is commenting on the allure of forbidden desires and the way that these desires can sometimes overpower our sense of reason and morality. The character of Maria represents this sense of reckless abandon, while the singer's doubts about her indicate a recognition of the potential consequences of giving into temptation.


Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of human desire and the complex emotions that come with it. It is a testament to the power of music to capture the nuances of human experience and to express concepts that are often difficult to articulate in words.

I haven't heard it for 10 years.

And suddenly, out of nowhere, I remembered it, and my head started giving me: "Mari..Mari..ya yee ya".

It says something..

no 20s for me...something about this song (and vocalist)

@aakos84

Same here. I was sick in the boarding school and I had to stay at its hospital ward (kind of) for few days. I had only this album given by a mate. It was in 1999 listened to it on MC then I remember (as I really liked it) in next year I got this album on CD and listened to on my brandnew Panasonic discman. There are some moments I crystal clear remember even if that happened more than 2 decades ago. Gimme a time machine! :))

@morettobr

@@aakos84 what is the song about? I read the translation, but I confess I didn't understand.

@aakos84

@@morettobr tbh no idea mate. I read the lyric also and I thought maybe Maria is a strong woman 🤣 (raw muscles in you). I was 13 when it was released but only heard around 2000. I had my discman and a written Guano Apes CD. That album is perfect! Good times 😇
