lyrics

La hija de Frankenstein dormida
Con la anticipacion
Del choque que su maquinista daria
Una corriente electrica
Que viene desde los cielos partidos
Con la espada de zeus
Rojo, verde, azul el vestido
Con una rosa de silicon

Esa maquinaria hermosa
Espera ser penetrada
Con la corriente de la humanidad
Su padre maquinista
La inyecta con la vida
Posee la espada del señor zeus

La hija de Frankenstein despierta
Sin saber por donde ir
Conoce a nadien ni tiene sentidos
Con las facultades inutil
Toda la gente alrededor se rien
Cuando intenta asimilar
Ella lerda, tonta y derrotada
Sin proposito de funcionar

La hija de Frankenstein obligada
Vivir bajo el reino
De un maquinista que nada le importa
Pero las partes de silicon
Ella decide la vida no vale la pena
No vale la humanidad
Cuando uno debe no parecer diferente
Cuando somos circunstancial

INTERPRETATION


Excerpt from “The Daughter of Frankenstein” by Joaquin Lopez

Admittedly, everyone who ever laid their eyes on her would say, “She may be a monster, but she is the weirdest stunning monster ever made! Such a fine piece of man’s work! Statuesque and gorgeous! Rock solid and dumb as a doorknob! Ha!” It was these sorts of things that would break her fragmented heart. And, everyday before nightfall, in a sort of momentary repose, her eyes would close as her power depleted. It was always at this moment when the nightly ritual began. In her room Dr. Frankenstein would lift his sword, capture the lightning with its heavenly roar, and penetrate it straight into her heart injecting her with humanity. She, beautifully still, opens her eyes and hardly gives a moan. “My beautiful, perfect daughter!” He says.

Through the window, she just stares at the clouds.
