Con una peculiar personalidad la Dama se Esconde ha sido criticada por un exceso de monotonía, pero los verdaderos críticos han sabido reconocer en ellos, que esa monotonía desaparece al escuchar lentamente sus canciones, cargadas de ritmos prefabricados y originales guitarras, en una mezcla que provoca un sonido realmente acogedor.
Los héroes de la aventura de La Dama se Esconde son Nacho Goberna e Ignacio Valencia. Ambos procedían de un grupo, de un estilo bastante mas "hard", llamado Agrimensor K. Fue difícil hacer un pop tranquilo y melodioso en medio de esa explosión de música "bruta" que hubo en el Pais Vasco, pero la Dama se Esconde lo supieron hacer pasando así a ser uno de esos grandes grupos de la historia del pop español, tal vez, poco reconocidos, y tal vez hayan acusado también los cambios de estilo provocados por el zigzagueante mundo de las discográficas, pero se han sabido mantener en una línea alta de pop exquisito.

La Dama Se Esconde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El gran teatro integral saluda
Mi deseo fue ser ingeniero.
¿Han tardado en admitirlo?
Yo no sé cómo han podido aceptar estudios europeos
...
Son estampas del decorado
Y hoy la vista no llega a tanto.
Tengo tiempo hasta medianoche
El cartel lo expresa claro el gran teatro cree en ti, hermano.
The lyrics of La Dama Se Esconde's song Propaganda describe a society where everyone has their assigned role and is a part of a larger, orchestrated performance. The first line of the song, "Cada cual hoy tendrá su puesto" (Everyone will have their place today), sets the tone for what follows, indicating that there is a predetermined order in which things must be carried out. The "gran teatro integral" (whole theater) is used as a metaphor for the society in which we live, and we are all players in a grand theatrical production.
The lead singer then makes a personal statement about his desire to become an engineer, questioning whether it was difficult for him to achieve this given his European academic background. This, along with the line "¿Han tardado en admitirlo?" (Did they take long to admit it?), shows that there may be obstacles and bureaucratic hurdles one must overcome to be accepted in this society.
The next few lines of the song describe how everything seems to be an ornamentation or decoration, and that one's view can only reach so far. The allusion to America or the "gran teatro" is meant to show the vastness and complexity of the world we live in, and how one can only grasp so much of it until their time is up.
Overall, the lyrics of Propaganda present a somewhat bleak outlook on society, where individuals are assigned roles and must carry out their duties within a system that has already been set in place. It suggests that there may be limitations to our understanding of the world and the forces that govern it, and that we are but mere players in a grand scheme of things.
