Anda suelto satanás
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
se disfraza el asfalto de mar,
el zapato no encuentra el pedal,
parece que anda suelto Satanás.
Canta Bod Dylan en el cassette,
tinta roja escrita en la pared,
un cadáver abraza el arcén,
Un semáforo va a dar a luz,
una novia vestida de tul
se masturba sobre un ataúd,
parece que anda suelto Belcebú.
The lyrics for Luis Eduardo Aute's song "Anda Suelto Satanás" describe a world that is slowly being plunged into chaos. The opening line of the song, "Cae fuego en lugar de maná" ("Fire falls instead of manna"), establishes this sense of destruction and loss. The singer observes that the world around them is changing rapidly, with familiar elements taking on unfamiliar forms. The "asfalto" (asphalt) becomes "mar" (sea), and Dylan's songs are being sung from a cassette player that's nearly obsolete. There is a sense of dislocation and alienation as the world around the singer seems to be unraveling.
The chorus of the song, "parece que anda suelto Satanás" ("it seems like Satan is loose"), encapsulates this feeling of unease and confusion. There is a sense that something sinister is happening, but it's not clear what that might be. The second verse deepens the sense of disquiet, with references to death and violence. There is a "cadáver abraza el arcén" (a corpse hugging the curb), and the name "Lucifer" enters the lyrics for the first time. The third verse takes things a step further, with even more ominous imagery. A traffic light is giving birth, a bride is masturbating on a coffin, and now "Belcebú" (Belzebub) is mentioned as well. The sense of chaos and uncertainty is heightened by each verse.
