Caballos de Histeria

“Caballos de Histeria” by Lucybell is a vivid and intense exploration of inner turmoil and emotional chaos. The title, which translates to “Horses of Hysteria,” sets the stage for a metaphorical journey through the singer's psyche. The horses represent uncontrollable and overwhelming emotions that scream and destroy, leaving a trail of destruction. The imagery of these horses staining the singer's tongue with their feminine manes suggests a deep, personal invasion of his inner self, affecting even his speech and thoughts.

The lyrics convey a sense of being wide awake yet trapped and bleeding, symbolizing a state of heightened awareness and suffering. The absence of a “tonta e infantil” (silly and childish) voice indicates a loss of innocence or naivety, replaced by the harsh reality of these hysterical horses. The singer expresses a desire for less superficiality (“menos feca entre mis dientes”) and more genuine warmth and connection (“más calor en la piel”), highlighting a longing for authenticity amidst the chaos.

The horses are described as noisy, gigantic, and thirsty for the singer's soul, which they have now claimed. This powerful imagery suggests a complete takeover of the singer's being by these frenzied emotions. The final lines reflect a shift from hearing a comforting voice to the relentless noise of hooves, indicating a profound change in the singer's mental state. The song captures the struggle between maintaining one's sanity and being overwhelmed by inner hysteria, painting a poignant picture of emotional and psychological conflict.
