Autodestrución

El Otro Yo's song 'Autodestrución' delves into the perplexing and tragic nature of human self-destruction. The lyrics open with a vivid image of speed sending countless forms towards a blue, round, flower-like sky. This surreal and almost poetic depiction contrasts sharply with the grim reality described in the following lines, where people are dying at the hands of others. This juxtaposition highlights the absurdity and senselessness of violence and self-destruction in human society.

The chorus questions the reasons behind humanity's tendency towards self-destruction, labeling it as stupidity and repeatedly asking 'why?' This repetition emphasizes the frustration and confusion surrounding this destructive behavior. The song suggests that people are unable to see beyond their own immediate concerns ('gravedad') and are disconnected from a higher power or inner divinity ('Dios'). This lack of connection and understanding is implied to be a root cause of the self-destructive tendencies observed in humanity.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more personal and hopeful tone. The speaker addresses someone they believe to be their savior, promising to take care of them. This plea for salvation and connection is further emphasized by the desire to be taken to a 'universal mind' and to be nourished by it. This universal mind can be interpreted as a metaphor for a collective consciousness or a higher state of awareness that transcends individual ego and selfishness. The song ultimately suggests that the key to overcoming self-destruction lies in nurturing connections and seeking a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe.
