Marcha Y Transmisión

“Marcha Y Transmisión” by Asamblea Internacional Del Fuego is a poignant reflection on the relentless passage of time and the weariness of daily life. The song paints a vivid picture of individuals trudging through their routines, their lives marked by exhaustion and a sense of monotony. The imagery of “calles luminosas” (bright streets) and “vidrios empañados” (fogged-up windows) sets the scene for a journey that is both physical and metaphorical, representing the daily grind and the slow erosion of vitality.

The lyrics delve into the universal experience of aging and the inevitable decline that comes with it. The repeated references to “cuerpos agotados” (exhausted bodies) and “vidas que se apagan” (lives that fade away) underscore the physical and emotional toll of time. The song speaks to the shared human experience of seeing one's parents, children, and oneself grow older, with each day blending into the next. The mention of Amanda and Manuel, and their “cinco minutos eternamente suspendidos” (five minutes eternally suspended), evokes a sense of timelessness and the fleeting nature of life’s moments.

Asamblea Internacional Del Fuego uses powerful metaphors to convey the sense of loss and resignation that accompanies the passage of time. The “murallas” (walls) built by one’s sorrows and anger symbolize the barriers that life’s hardships erect around us. The song’s refrain, “tu vida se ha ido” (your life has gone), is a stark reminder of the inevitability of time’s march and the ultimate futility of resisting it. The band’s post-hardcore style, characterized by intense emotion and raw energy, amplifies the song’s themes, making “Marcha Y Transmisión” a deeply moving exploration of life’s impermanence and the quiet struggles that define our existence.
