Cuervos

Porter's song 'Cuervos' delves into themes of vanity, self-love, and the consequences of disobedience. The lyrics open with a rhetorical question, challenging the listener to reflect on their creations and whether they stem from vanity and unfulfilled desires. The line 'Creo que te has enamorado de ti otra vez' suggests a cyclical pattern of self-obsession, indicating that the subject has fallen in love with themselves once more, highlighting a recurring theme of narcissism.

The chorus introduces a powerful metaphor: 'Cria cuervos y los ojos te van a sacar por necio,' which translates to 'Raise crows and they will peck your eyes out for being foolish.' This Spanish proverb warns against nurturing negative traits or behaviors, as they will eventually lead to one's downfall. The repetition of this line emphasizes the inevitability of the consequences of one's actions. The song advises obedience and respect towards one's creator, whether interpreted as a divine being, a mentor, or even one's own higher self.

The recurring phrase 'Abortar la misión' suggests a need to abandon a misguided path, reinforcing the idea that continuing down a path of vanity and disobedience will only lead to ruin. The song's closing lines, 'No vas a llorar más,' imply a sense of finality and acceptance, as if the subject has come to terms with the consequences of their actions. Porter's 'Cuervos' serves as a cautionary tale, urging listeners to reflect on their motivations and the potential repercussions of their choices.
