Comidita

El Robot Bajo El Agua's song 'Comidita' delves into the complexities of human existence and perception. The lyrics juxtapose various elements of life, such as being a 'chabón' (a guy) and a 'león' (a lion), to highlight the multifaceted nature of identity. The repetition of phrases like 'es un animal como todos los demás' (it's an animal like all the others) and 'es una sensación como todas las demás' (it's a sensation like all the others) suggests a sense of universality and commonality in human experiences. This could be interpreted as a commentary on how, despite our individual differences, we share fundamental similarities.

The song also explores the concept of perception and interpretation. Lines like '¿quién deja entonces interpretar la postal, como el acto de viajar?' (who then lets interpret the postcard, like the act of traveling?) and '¿quién deja entonces interpretar el tiempo, como algo lineal?' (who then lets interpret time, as something linear?) challenge the listener to think about how we perceive and make sense of the world around us. These questions suggest that our understanding of reality is subjective and open to interpretation, much like a piece of art or a journey.

The recurring motif of 'la comidita' (the little food) and the phrase 'la comidita no está lista hasta que está lista la boquita' (the little food isn't ready until the little mouth is ready) can be seen as a metaphor for readiness and timing in life. It implies that certain experiences or realizations come to fruition only when we are prepared to receive them. This metaphor adds a layer of depth to the song, emphasizing the importance of patience and the natural progression of life events.
