115

Muchachito Bombo Infierno's song '115' captures the essence of urban life and the constant struggle for survival within it. The lyrics are a vivid portrayal of the daily hustle and bustle, with numbers like '115' and '120' symbolizing the relentless pace of city life. The mention of 'gente que sube a camiones y bajan de ascensores' (people getting on trucks and off elevators) paints a picture of the ceaseless movement and the mechanical rhythm that defines urban existence. This imagery is further emphasized by the phrase 'dopan sus motores para subsistir' (they dope their engines to subsist), suggesting that people are constantly pushing themselves to keep up with the demands of city life.

The song also delves into the sensory overload experienced in such environments. Lines like 'siento pasos, siento voces' (I feel footsteps, I feel voices) and 'voces descontroladas y alguna carcajada' (uncontrolled voices and some laughter) highlight the chaotic and often overwhelming nature of urban settings. The increase in volume 'sube su volumen para subsistir' (they raise their volume to subsist) indicates a need to be heard and noticed amidst the noise, reflecting a deeper struggle for identity and recognition.

As the song progresses, the numbers increase to '130, 140', symbolizing the escalating complexity and challenges of life. The 'giros que contaminan' (turns that pollute) and 'cosas que desmotivan para desistir' (things that demotivate to give up) suggest a sense of disillusionment and the toxic effects of urban living. The recurring phrase 'paseando por el polígono' (walking through the industrial area) serves as a metaphor for navigating through life's industrial and impersonal aspects, highlighting the resilience required to persist in such an environment.
