En El Desguace

Reincidentes' song 'En El Desguace' delves into the complexities of self-awareness and the struggle to maintain balance in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their physical and emotional state, describing their body as a 'masijo indecente' (indecent mess) of 'grasa, lujuria y precariedad' (fat, lust, and precariousness). This raw self-assessment highlights a sense of dissatisfaction and the need for self-care, despite the protagonist's disregard for societal opinions. The song emphasizes the importance of reflection and finding moments of clarity amidst life's chaos.

The chorus reveals a deeper layer of the protagonist's psyche, where they often find themselves in a state of confusion and doubt, symbolized by 'allá donde el hielo se deshace' (where the ice melts). This metaphor suggests a place of vulnerability and transformation, where the protagonist seeks to understand and navigate the complexities of language and communication. The recurring theme of contradiction is evident as the protagonist acknowledges their need for sobriety and clarity, despite being surrounded by temptations and distractions.

In the final verse, the protagonist admits to being 'aferrado a la temeridad' (clinging to recklessness) and 'enganchado a eso de ir más allá' (hooked on going beyond). This suggests a relentless pursuit of experiences and pushing boundaries, even at the cost of their well-being. The song concludes with the protagonist identifying themselves as being 'en el desguace' (in the scrapyard), a powerful metaphor for feeling broken or discarded. This imagery encapsulates the essence of the song, portraying a journey of self-discovery and the ongoing battle to reconcile one's desires with the need for self-preservation.
