When drummer El Bruja and guitarist El Destroyer joined, the name of the band was changed, soon recording its debut album, called Tecnopal.

Víctimas Del Doctor Cerebro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo se pudiste tocar
El universo sin permiso de Dios
Y nadaste sin escamas
Como un tiburón

Te vi pudiste volar
Y ni siquiera tú naciste en un huevo
Y tú crees q madre tierra

No se vengará

Te crees dueño del universo
Tan solo eres primate
Con Internet y stress

Tú crees que esta raza humana
Siempre será perfecta
Y no se extinguirá

No eres tú no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo
Si no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo

Tú crees tener el poder
Y el derecho de matar a quien quieras
Y eres como el mal sueño
De una gran tortuga

Te crees dueño del universo
Tan solo eres primate
Con Internet y stress

Tú crees que esta raza humana
Siempre será perfecta
Y no se extinguirá

No eres tú no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo
Si no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo

No eres tú no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo

Si no eres tú
No eres dueño del universo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Víctimas Del Doctor Cerebro's song "Humanos" are a commentary on human hubris and the belief that we are the masters of the universe. The song speaks to the idea that humans think they have the power and the right to do whatever they please, even to the point of killing whomever they want. The opening lines suggest that humans believe they can touch the universe without God's permission, and swim without scales like a shark. The later lines reveal a similar sentiment towards the earth, that we believe we can do whatever we want with it, and it will not fight back.

The song then goes on to state that humans are not the masters of the universe, but rather mere primates with technological advancements like the internet and stress. The repeated phrase "No eres tú no eres tú, no eres dueño del universo" drives home the message that humans are not the rulers of the universe and that we do not have the power to control everything. The song is a warning to humanity not to let their hubris and arrogance blind them to the consequences of their actions, as the song predicts that eventually, the human race will face extinction.

Overall, "Humanos" is a powerful critique of human arrogance and a warning against the belief that we can do whatever we please without consequences.
