Prou fingir l'orgasme
Mesclat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i cansats que els anys només fruitin rovell,
tips de ser cornuts i pagar les cerveses,
que tot aparell vagi amb control remot,
que voler omplir el got esdevingui estrambòtic:
sigui predicar en el desert;
que un xerraire expert amb un programa hipnòtic
acusi els de dins, la cel·la de botxins.
Vam aprendre, drets, a aguantar la ignomínia
com si les parets fossin on decidim.
Vam aprendre a no travessar mai la línia,
que el somni sublim nasqués en despertar.
Però si vam confiar que es captés la indirecta,
no veig que ningú se senti al·ludit.
Ja que hem decidit quin camí és el correcte
no sé què carall fem plànol amunt i avall.
Ja n'hi ha prou de fingir l'orgasme,
ja n'hi ha prou de deixatar l'ou.
Quan demanem vian- da escalfant la cassola
acabem menjant sofregit solament.
De truita prou n'hi ha: francesa o espanyola.
Quin desplegament d'imaginació!
Si dins nostre no hem estat per punyetes
i hem viscut on ens van privar
ara cal tornar a recollir les maletes
estripar el paper i dir-los "passi-ho bé".
The lyrics of "Prou fingir l'orgasme" by Mesclat speak about frustration, disappointment, and disillusionment. The song talks about being tired of being lied to and deceived, being fed up with empty promises, and feeling trapped in a cycle of disappointment. The lyrics also discuss the feeling of being taken for granted, being cheated on or betrayed, and having to put up with the pain, either silently or through a facade of pretending everything is okay.
The song touches on the idea of learned helplessness, where people become conditioned to accept and tolerate negative situations, and eventually, they stop trying to change them. The lyrics speak of how people have learned to endure the ignominy of their situation and have accepted that they have little control over their lives. However, the song also points out that it's time to stop pretending, stop faking the good times, and take a stand to assert a better life. The lyrics advise against running away from problems and looking for a quick fix when it comes to relationships, urging the listener to express themselves honestly and directly.
Overall, "Prou fingir l'orgasme" is a song that speaks to anyone who is frustrated with hypocrisy, deception, and has felt trapped in a cycle. Mesclat's unique style and the emotive lyrics make this a standout song for fans of Spanish rock.

Everything being controlled by remote
