Moscas

El Columpio Asesino's song 'Moscas' is a scathing critique of contemporary society, filled with vivid imagery and biting sarcasm. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world plagued by environmental and social decay, symbolized by the 'plaga de moscas en la playa' (plague of flies on the beach). This metaphor suggests a sense of rot and corruption, both literal and figurative, that has infested the world. The mention of 'sangre vomita el mar' (the sea vomits blood) further emphasizes the environmental degradation and the dire state of nature.

The song also takes aim at the superficiality and hypocrisy of modern life. Lines like 'Compra tu paz interior en una ONG' (buy your inner peace in an NGO) and 'Circo en televisión' (circus on television) criticize the commodification of charity and the trivialization of serious issues by the media. The reference to 'fútbol, putas y gigolós' (football, whores, and gigolos) highlights the distractions and moral decay prevalent in society, while 'Nietas para el borbón y el papa que viene, qué bendición' (granddaughters for the Bourbon and the coming Pope, what a blessing) points to the corruption and privilege within powerful institutions.

The chorus, 'Quieres cambiar las cosas, yo te digo que todo ya me da igual' (You want to change things, I tell you that I don't care anymore), reflects a sense of disillusionment and apathy. The narrator's indifference is a response to the overwhelming noise and chaos of the world, as expressed in 'me aburre tu ruido' (your noise bores me). This apathy can be seen as a defense mechanism against the relentless bombardment of information and the feeling of powerlessness in the face of systemic issues. The song ultimately serves as a powerful commentary on the state of the world, urging listeners to reflect on their own roles within it.
