El diablo
Psihomodo Pop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bijele koke s neba pale
cijeli grad su zatrpale
crni cilindar i srebrni štap
na grad je pao gusti mrak

El Diablo
mrkli mrak
El Diablo
crni vrag

Strah i trepet ulica
strašno hladna gubica
zaspao je svatko drag
u srca ušao je strah

El Diablo
mrkli mrak




El Diablo
crni vrag

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "El Diablo" by Psihomodo Pop depict a dark and frightening scene in a city where white hens fall from the sky, burying the entire town under their weight. The appearance of a black cylinder and silver stick causes a dense darkness to fall upon the city, spreading fear and panic on the streets. The chorus emphasises the presence of the devil (El Diablo) as the cause of this darkness and terror, using phrases like "mrkli mrak" (deep darkness) and "crni vrag" (black demon) to portray the devil's dominion over the city.


The second verse describes the effect of this darkness and fear on the people of the city. The streets are filled with horror and trepidation, as the citizens become paralyzed with fear. Even the loved ones of the singer are not immune, as they fall asleep with anxiety and their hearts filled with dread. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the inescapable hold that the devil has over the city and its inhabitants.


Overall, the lyrics are a commentary on the power of fear and darkness to take over a community and leave its members feeling helpless and alone. The imagery of the falling hens, black cylinder, and silver stick add to the surreal and haunting quality of the song, giving it a timeless quality that speaks to the frailty of the human spirit.
