Éxtasis de ángeles caídos
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acudo
a tu templo de carne
como quien va a misa
dispuesto a oficiar
la ceremonia de la Consagración.
Y me acerco
a tu altar de transubstanciaciones,
divino alimento humano
donde bebo tu sangre,
cual vampiro,
donde como tu cuerpo,
cuál gusano,
practicando, en un éxtasis de ángeles




caídos,
la comunión original.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luis Eduardo Aute's song, Éxtasis de ángeles caídos, describe a religious experience that is captured through the metaphorical language of the Eucharist. The first two lines describe the singer's arrival at the "temple of flesh" as if they were attending a church service. The singer is ready to officiate the ceremony of Consecration. When the singer approaches the "altar of transubstantiation," it is described as "divine human food." The singer uses vampiric language to describe drinking the blood of the person at the altar and eating their flesh like a worm. The major theme in these lines is an intense, almost sexual desire for unity with another person that is described through religious metaphor.


In the next four lines, the singer experiences an "ecstasy of fallen angels" by participating in the original communion. The imagery here paints a picture of the singer as a fallen angel experiencing joy and pleasure in this experience. It is important to note that the language used in the song creates a sense of the taboo and the forbidden, with words such as "vampire" and "fallen." The song describes an intense desire to unite with another person emotionally and physically, which is set against a backdrop of religious imagery and language.
