Hipnotismo de un flagelo
Dulce, tan dulce
Cuero, piel y metal
Carmín y charol

Cuando el cuerpo no espera
Lo que llaman amor

Cada lagrima de hambre
El más puro néctar
Nada más dulce que el deseo en cadenas

Cuando el cuerpo no espera
Lo que llaman amor
Más se pide y se vive
Canción animal
Canción animal

No me sirven las palabras
Gemir es mejor

Cuando el cuerpo no espera
Lo que llaman amor
Más se pide y se vive
Canción animal
Canción animal

Más se pide y se vive
(Más, más)
Más se pide y se vive
Canción animal
Canción animal

    Muchos dicen que el amor es el vehículo para el sexo, que es el objetivo de una relación. Otros no están tan de acuerdo. Una cosa es cierta, el sexo con amor es mucho mejor que el sexo sin amor, pero al mismo tiempo cada uno tiene sus ventajas y desventajas. Esta canción demuestra la sensación de vivir el placer sin esperar nada a cambio, "cuando el cuerpo no espera/lo que llaman amor".

    A mi me parece que, claramente, habla acerca de sadomasoquismo. Cuero, piel, metal, carmin, charol. Todos materiales de los que estan hechos los elementos sadomasoquistas. El deseo en cadenas, hipnotismo de un FLAGELO. Creo que es bastante obvio.

    Personalmente creo que las alusiones al sadomasoquismo no son mas que el vehiculo que usa cerati para expresar lo desenfrenada de una relacion basicamente sexual. Asi tambien las alusiones al mundo animal quienes no son sadomasoquistas pero representan un sexo inhumano y quizas para el sin sentimiento amoroso aspecial. Lo de el deseo en cadenas no creo que sea otraa foorma de probar esto porque la cadena es una sucesion de eventos una sucesion de deseor, una susecion de actos sexuales. Esto es lo que creo pero respeto su opinion. Solo es una sugerencia para quien encuentre que lo ayude

    Bien yo soy un Fan de Soda desde hace muchos años, y sabiendo que Gustavo es un Gigolo pienso q solamente esta cancion es una Oda al Sexo... sin nada de tabues como el Amor o el Sadomasoquismo... solo habla del Sexo, y esta claro que si se habla de Sexo no se pueden obviar ni el Amor ni el Sado... pero no por eso la cancion se refiera a alguna de estas formas, sino solamente al Sexo en si.

    Estoy de acuerdo con Death, la canción habla acerca de una relación sadomasoquista, otra fase que también apoya esto es : "nada más dulce que el deseo en cadena/s."

    Claro que si. Lo interesante de este sitio es debatir y compartir las teorías que cada uno tiene acerca de las canciones. Es muy positivo ver los puntos de vista de otra gente.

    Creo que describe los elementos y sucesos de una relacion sadomasoquista.

    Si el tema es claro habla sobre el sadomasoquismo. La mejor frase para mi es "Cuando el cuerpo no espera lo que llaman amor..." cuando no estamos preparados para ese amor que llega de forma inesperada nos golpea con mas fuerza.

    Habla sobre el sexo sin amor e inhumano,placer,el sadomasoquismo es solo un "ejemplo" que cerati coloca,el sexo animal representa el placer,el ser humano en cambio posee el amor, no obstante prefiere un sexo bruto y bestial,animal.

    Como casi todad las songs de Cerati durante Soda en su mayoria, si no todas hablan de una forma u otra del sexo, pero aunque no estoy muy de acuerdo con la promiscuidad, pk el sexo sin amor termian siendo promiscuo, sin embargo de la forma y con la pasion que lo describe Cerati es como para desenfrenarse.

    Sinceramente considero que Cerati es uno de los pocos que puede hablar sin tapujos del sexo en una cancion sin sonar obceno, la verdad creo que aparte de "Entre Canibales", esta es una de sus canciones mas sexys

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
