The Living Dead: A Reflection on Isolation and Despair

K.O.M.A.'s song "De cuerpo presente" delves into the profound feelings of isolation, detachment, and existential despair. The phrase "de cuerpo presente" translates to "in the flesh," often used in Spanish to describe someone who is physically present but emotionally or mentally absent. This sets the tone for the entire song, where the protagonist feels disconnected from their surroundings and the people around them.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is emotionally numb and detached, describing themselves as "autista, anónimo, ausente" (autistic, anonymous, absent) in a "nido de ratas" (nest of rats). This metaphorical language suggests a deep sense of alienation and disillusionment with society. The protagonist is surrounded by deceit and false promises, as indicated by the lines about "salidas sugerentes" (suggestive exits) that are actually "entradas de trampas" (entrances to traps).

The recurring theme of being "de cuerpo presente" until someone wakes them up highlights a longing for connection and a desire to escape this state of limbo between life and death. The imagery of being "rígido, tieso de frío" (rigid, stiff with cold) in a "tanatorio" (funeral home) further emphasizes the protagonist's sense of lifelessness and the absence of warmth or comfort. The final lines, suggesting that if someone truly wants to see them, they should look in "objetos perdidos" (lost and found), poignantly capture the feeling of being lost and forgotten in a world that seems indifferent to their existence.

K.O.M.A.'s musical style, often characterized by its raw and intense energy, complements the dark and introspective nature of the lyrics. The song serves as a powerful commentary on the human condition, exploring themes of isolation, despair, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.
