The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Debbie Harry, Mick Jones, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single "Matador", in what probably was the peak of popularity of the band. On September 29 of that year they produced an MTV Unplugged concert. The Cadillacs also won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album, and were nominated in the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards for Best Band and Best Music Video ("La Vida"), which received the now-defunct International Viewer's Choice Award (Southern Region) at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
En Mis Venas
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y en tu cara hay deseo
En tu cara hay deseo
Y en mi cuerpo hay dolor
Pero no te vas y te quedás atrás
Y me pisas y me pisas me pisas el corazón
Me aplastás hasta el final
En mi cara hay dolor
Y en tu cuerpo hay deseo
En tu cara hay deseo
Y en mi cuerpo hay alcohol
Me gusta gritar pero no me dejas
Y me cerrás, me tapas, el corazón
Me aplastas hasta el final
The opening verse of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs's song En Mis Venas suggests a tumultuous relationship built on alcohol, desire, and pain. The singer acknowledges that there is alcohol coursing through their veins, while their partner's face exhibits desire. However, the singer is in physical pain. The following lines express the complicated nature of the relationship. Despite the pain, the partner stays and causes more hurt by stepping on the singer's heart, crushing it until the end. The verses continue with a repetition of the same themes, except this time, the roles are reversed. The partner now experiences pain on their face, while the singer has desire running through their body instead of alcohol.
The chorus is an expression of the singer's feelings towards the situation. They want to scream and let out their frustration, but their partner doesn't allow them, and instead, suffocates their heart until there is nothing left. It's clear that the relationship is toxic, with both parties inflicting pain on each other. The repeated lines and motifs throughout the song underscore the cyclical nature of relationships involving addiction, codependency, and emotional abuse.
