Flota

Bubaseta's song 'Flota' is a vivid exploration of altered states of consciousness, primarily through the use of marijuana. The lyrics paint a picture of floating above the world, finding a path through the haze of smoke, and experiencing a profound transformation. The repeated phrase 'te volai' (you fly) emphasizes the sensation of being lifted and detached from the mundane, suggesting a form of escapism and liberation. The song's rhythm and style, described as 'kung-fu' and 'ganja,' further enhance this sense of a mystical, almost martial journey through one's inner self.

The song delves into the idea of duality and self-discovery. Bubaseta mentions the 'other you' that comes into play when one is under the influence, hinting at a deeper, perhaps more authentic version of oneself that emerges. This is a common theme in many cultures where altered states are seen as a way to access hidden truths or spiritual insights. The lyrics also touch on the communal aspect of this experience, suggesting that only those who are 'good of soul' can truly appreciate and laugh in this state, creating a sense of camaraderie among like-minded individuals.

'Flota' also addresses the societal perceptions and personal struggles associated with marijuana use. The mention of 'ojo con lo ojo rojo' (watch out for the red eyes) and the need to 'cómprate un saco' (buy a sack) reflect the clandestine nature of this activity and the desperation that can accompany it. Despite these challenges, the song maintains a positive outlook, encouraging listeners to let their minds float and elevate their subconscious. The collaboration with Stailok adds another layer of depth, blending their styles to create a track that is both introspective and celebratory.
