Colecciono moscas

Golpes Bajos' song "Colecciono moscas" delves into the eerie and unsettling world of a person who collects flies. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's peculiar hobby, where they keep flies of various sizes in a box. This collection is not just a passive pastime; it becomes an obsession that the protagonist indulges in after work, observing the flies' behavior with a mix of fascination and dread.

The flies in the box symbolize different aspects of the protagonist's psyche. The smaller flies, which seem confident and carefree, contrast sharply with the larger, more aggressive flies that dominate and consume the smaller ones. This dynamic can be seen as a metaphor for the internal struggles and conflicts within the protagonist. The larger flies' cannibalistic behavior represents the darker, more destructive parts of the self that overpower and consume the more innocent and vulnerable aspects.

As the flies grow and the box becomes too small to contain them, the protagonist's control over the situation begins to slip. The once manageable collection turns into a chaotic and threatening presence, culminating in the fear that the flies might start to consume the protagonist themselves. This shift from control to fear highlights the dangers of letting one's darker impulses and obsessions go unchecked. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of indulging in one's darker fascinations and the potential for those fascinations to spiral out of control.
