Prometeo

The song 'Prometeo' by Extremoduro, a Spanish rock band known for their poetic lyrics and raw sound, delves into the depths of intense desire and the pain of unrequited love. The title itself references Prometheus, a figure from Greek mythology who was punished by the gods for giving fire to humanity, suggesting a theme of suffering for a forbidden act or knowledge.

The lyrics express a visceral longing, with the senses heightened by the mere existence of the object of desire. The repeated line about not rising or resting without having been wicked a hundred times suggests a restless, obsessive nature to this love. The singer is in a constant state of struggle, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, which could symbolize the fluctuating emotions of love and desire. The metaphor of a wound that opens and closes indicates a love that is both painful and healing, a source of suffering that the singer cannot seem to escape from.

The raw and explicit language used to describe the physical yearning, particularly the line 'me revuelco por el suelo y me revienta la polla de pensar en ti,' which translates to 'I writhe on the ground and my dick bursts thinking of you,' conveys a sense of uncontrollable lust and frustration. The imagery of bleeding and watering a garden with one's blood suggests a sacrifice, perhaps of the singer's own well-being, for the sake of the beloved. The mention of 'besos de contrabando' (smuggled kisses) and being left wanting behind a window could imply a love that is secretive, possibly forbidden, and certainly not fully consummated.
