The Drive of Desire: Unpacking 'Motor Psico' by Los Redonditos de Ricota

The song 'Motor Psico' by Los Redonditos de Ricota, an iconic Argentine rock band known for their poetic lyrics and social commentary, delves into the complexities of human desire and the relentless pursuit of fulfillment. The title itself, which translates to 'Psycho Engine,' suggests a relentless, driving force within the human psyche, possibly representing the internal motivations that drive our actions and decisions.

The lyrics seem to explore the concept of desire as a market ('El mercado de todo amor'), where everything has a price and one must decide what they are willing to trade or sacrifice to obtain what they desire. This could be a metaphor for the emotional transactions people make in their relationships and in society at large. The repeated line 'Así me das más' ('This way you give me more') might imply a yearning for more than what is currently possessed, whether it be love, success, or spiritual fulfillment.

The mention of 'hemoglobina' (hemoglobin) and no longer bleeding suggests a transition from a state of vulnerability to one of strength or numbness. The speaker seems to be moving from 'nothing to glory,' indicating a journey of personal growth or ambition. The line 'Mi Dios no juega dados, quizás' ('My God does not play dice, perhaps') could be a nod to Einstein's famous quote about randomness in the universe, suggesting that the speaker believes there is a predetermined path or fate at play in their life.
