Ciervomotor

Ratones Paranoicos' song 'Ciervomotor' delves into themes of identity, societal change, and personal reflection. The lyrics present a narrative where the protagonist converses with their parents, revealing a sense of confusion and contemplation about the world around them. The mention of a 'travestí' (transvestite) and the reaction of the protagonist's mother highlights societal norms and the challenges of understanding and accepting different identities. This moment serves as a metaphor for broader societal changes and the struggle to comprehend them.

The protagonist's father comments on the uncertainty of life, symbolized by the line 'Hoy en día nunca se sabe / Quien es el que va morir' (Nowadays, you never know who is going to die). This reflects a sense of unpredictability and the transient nature of existence. The protagonist's introspection, 'Mientras yo miro / Mi pasado interior' (While I look at my inner past), suggests a deep personal reflection on their own life and experiences. The recurring phrase 'Eran ciervos a motor' (They were motorized deer) is a surreal and poetic image, possibly symbolizing the wild and uncontrollable aspects of life and change.

The song also touches on the feeling of displacement and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The line 'No tengo donde pararme / Ni tiempo para mi' (I have nowhere to stop / Nor time for myself) conveys a sense of restlessness and the pressure of modern life. The 'agujero salvaje' (wild hole) of the protagonist's neighborhood represents the chaotic and often harsh environment they come from, further emphasizing the theme of searching for identity and stability in a rapidly changing world.
