Alta Tension

Mal Momento's song "Alta Tension" delves into the chaotic and intense emotions that arise from mental and emotional strain. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is difficult to understand, possibly due to their excessive drinking, as indicated by the line "en tu copa demasiado gin" (in your glass too much gin). This suggests that the person's behavior and communication are heavily influenced by their state of inebriation, leading to a sense of confusion and disconnection for the narrator.

The recurring phrase "sera que tu cuerpo tiene alta tension desde el dia en que tu mente se incendio" (could it be that your body has high tension since the day your mind caught fire) serves as a powerful metaphor for the overwhelming stress and anxiety that the person is experiencing. The imagery of the mind catching fire evokes a sense of sudden, uncontrollable turmoil, which has a profound impact on the person's physical state, leading to what the narrator describes as 'high tension.' This high tension is not just a physical state but also a reflection of the inner turmoil and mental strain that the person is going through.

The song also touches on the theme of miscommunication and the struggle to connect with someone who is in a state of high tension. The line "algo que no pude desifrar" (something I couldn't decipher) highlights the difficulty in understanding and reaching out to someone who is overwhelmed by their own mental and emotional struggles. The repetitive chorus of "alta tension" reinforces the intensity and persistence of these feelings, creating a sense of urgency and unease that permeates the entire song.
