La Muerte
Lazcano Malo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Del hallowen
Me desfrece
Del capta y lacrar.
Dacrula, franquestein
Ya estaban ahí,
Freddy y el lobo
Y tu al estilo de Indiana jones
Fue fácil colarnos al reventón
Y entre cigarros, disfraces y alcohol
Nuevos amigos hicimos tú y yo.
Corrió la noche sin un pormenor,
Justo a las doce ella apareció
Era la muerte con su grande oz
Que buen disfraz: ¿donde lo consiguió?
Y entre la gente pasaba la parca
Y saludaba palmeando espaldas
Cuando de pronto paro frente a ti
Volteo la mirada y me sonrió a mi.
La muerte
Cuando vas a pelarme los dientes
Muerte
Todo vivo abra de conocerte
Muerte
Te festejan todos en noviembre
Loco de celos
Miraba ahí
A la huesuda que te hablaba a ti
Y como quería hacerte reaccionar
Con una loba me puse a bailar
Casi desmallo y quise llorar
Al ver que tu mano la saco a bailar
Este vals
Son casi tres años el tiempo paso
Te sigo trayendo tu flor al panteón
Nos tenía que pasar lo que nos paso
Todo por colarnos a aquel reventón
Y cada noviembre vuelvo a recordar
A ti y a esa flaca bailando ese vals
La muerte
Cuando vas a pelarme los dientes
Muerte
Todo vivo abra de conocerte
Muerte
Te festejan todos en noviembre
Y yo también
"La muerte" by Lazcano Malo is a song with a hauntingly beautiful melody that tells the story of a narrator who attends a Halloween party and meets the Greek goddess of death, Hades. The song is full of vivid imagery that paints a strange, mystical world where death is a natural part of life. The song begins with the singer describing the Halloween party he is attending where Dracula, Frankenstein, Freddy, and the wolf-man are enjoying their anise. Suddenly the singer and his friend find themselves at the party, thanks to their Indiana Jones-style deception. There they make new friends and laugh amidst the smoky haze of cigarettes and alcohol. However, at midnight, the Greek goddess of death, Hades, appears, disguised in an impressive costume. She walks through the crowded room, greeting everyone with a smile, and stops directly in front of the singer, offering him a kind smile. The singer is both terrified and fascinated by the figure of death and wonders when he will be greeted by her again. As the night continues, the singer gets jealous of Hades' conversation with his friend and tries to make her jealous by dancing with another woman.
The lyrics of "La muerte" are incredibly poetic and spiritual, as they talk about the singer facing his own mortality and the inevitability of death. The singer's jealousy of Hades speaks to his reluctance to face his own death and the way that he distracts himself from this reality. The final stanza of the song reveals that the singer has been visiting the grave of his lost love every November and brings her a flower. The song asks the listener to consider their own relationship with death and how they might confront it in their own lives.
