El Mundo Extraño

The song 'El Mundo Extraño' by El Mato A Un Policia Motorizado, an indie rock band from Argentina, delves into the feelings of alienation and longing within the context of a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of disconnection from the surrounding environment, as the protagonist feels older than everyone else, suggesting a generational gap or a feeling of being out of place. This could be a metaphor for feeling disconnected in a relationship or in life in general.

The song's narrative continues with the protagonist observing their love interest from a distance, noting the presence of a boyfriend who is described as pleasant but incessantly talkative. This observation hints at a desire for closeness and understanding, which the protagonist feels is lacking. The repeated chorus 'Quiero estar con vos, que me quieras así' (I want to be with you, for you to love me like this) emphasizes the yearning for acceptance and love in their truest form, despite acknowledging that it might not be the ideal situation ('Sé que es lo peor').

The title 'El Mundo Extraño' (The Strange World) and the line 'No ignores la belleza de este mundo extraño' (Don't ignore the beauty of this strange world) suggest that there is something worth appreciating in the oddities and complexities of life and relationships. The protagonist seems to be making a plea for their love interest to recognize the beauty in what might seem strange or unfamiliar, including the protagonist's own self-proclaimed 'best version' of themselves. The song captures the essence of embracing the peculiarities of life and the vulnerability of showing one's true self in the pursuit of love.
