Almuerzo Al Desnudo

La Gusana Ciega's song 'Almuerzo Al Desnudo' is a poetic exploration of escapism and intimacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a desire to break free from the mundane and cynical aspects of daily life. The opening lines, 'Diserciones sobre plástico reciclado / Largas charlas en espacios semi ovalados,' suggest a setting of monotonous and perhaps superficial conversations, hinting at a corporate or formal environment. The protagonist yearns to escape this tedium, finding solace and a sense of renewal in the intimate moments shared with a loved one.

The recurring imagery of 'el sol naciendo' (the sun rising) on the lover's legs symbolizes a new beginning and hope. This metaphor is further enriched by the lines 'El almuerzo puede ser / Entre tus labios rojos,' which evoke a sense of sensuality and connection. The song contrasts the oppressive nature of the outside world with the liberating and nurturing space found in the lover's embrace. The repeated refrain 'Afuera o adentro / Afuera en el mar / Afuera o adentro / Adentro de ti' emphasizes the choice between the external chaos and the internal peace found within the relationship.

The song also touches on the theme of rejecting societal expectations and routines. Lines like 'La minuta puede hacerse demasiado larga / Cancelemos las reuniones por la mañana' suggest a rebellion against the structured and often meaningless rituals of daily life. Instead, the protagonist seeks to 'almorzar en el parque de los sueños' (have lunch in the park of dreams), a metaphor for living in a state of blissful detachment from reality. The song's dreamy and repetitive structure mirrors the longing for a continuous escape, making 'Almuerzo Al Desnudo' a poignant reflection on the human desire for freedom and intimate connection.
