Song Meaning of “El Chico Temido” by Los Aguas Aguas
The song “El Chico Temido” by Los Aguas Aguas is an ode to the fear of the unknown – the mythic bogeyman that lurks in the shadows of our society. It speaks to how the idea of this “feared figure” keeps us on edge, instilling a sense of caution and wariness to all our actions. The chorus is a call to be brave and over come this fear, to not be cowed by the ever-present anxiety it brings:
“Perdón que me atrevo a decir / que el Chico Temido no existe, aparece solo en tus sueños / No hay Chico, es una ilusión/ Así que no le temas, más bien, tu valor rescata”.
The verses of the song reinforce this message, describing how the fear of this bogeyman is unfounded and imaginary. The song speaks to the power of facing our fears and reclaiming our power over the situation – and to recognize the fear for what it is: an illusion. In a time when the world can seem a daunting and unpredictable place, this song is a message for us to have courage in the face of adversity and to use our resilience to beat the fear of the unknown.
