Morta Punto Com

Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota, often referred to simply as 'Los Redondos,' are a legendary Argentine rock band known for their cryptic lyrics and rebellious spirit. 'Morta Punto Com' is a vivid portrayal of a character named Morta, who is on a relentless quest for pleasure and excess. The song's title itself, blending 'morta' (a slang term for death) with 'punto com' (a reference to the internet age), suggests a modern-day hedonist lost in a digital world of instant gratification.

The lyrics paint a picture of Morta as someone who is constantly seeking more 'japinés'—a playful distortion of 'happiness'—through various indulgences. He is depicted as engaging in reckless behavior, from sexual escapades to substance abuse, all in an attempt to fill a void. The line 'Como si se la machacara contra un cascote, quiere gozar' (As if he were smashing it against a rock, he wants to enjoy) metaphorically illustrates the self-destructive nature of his pursuits.

Morta's life is a chaotic blend of fleeting pleasures and superficial relationships. The references to 'fellatio diluvio' and 'guateque-hot-porno escolar' highlight his obsession with sexual gratification, while 'va bombeando su guita en trolas coquetas' (he's pumping his money into coquettish whores) underscores his financial recklessness. The imagery of Morta floating in a bubble bath in his 'loquero de amor' (love madhouse) encapsulates his detachment from reality, living in a self-made prison of hedonism.

The song is a critique of modern society's obsession with instant gratification and the emptiness that often accompanies it. Morta's relentless pursuit of 'japinés' leaves him barely standing, a poignant reminder of the dangers of excess and the superficiality of material pleasures. Through Morta's story, Los Redondos offer a darkly humorous yet sobering reflection on the human condition in the digital age.
