Aqui No Es Donde

Resorte's song "Aqui No Es Donde" takes listeners on a surreal journey through undefined spaces and ambiguous realities. The lyrics open with a welcoming gesture to 'forasteros residentes' (resident strangers), setting the tone for a place that defies conventional boundaries. The mention of 'sin visas ni pasaportes preferentes' (without visas or preferred passports) suggests a space where traditional rules and regulations do not apply. This is further emphasized by the geographical confusion in 'este es el norte un sur al oeste del este' (this is the north, a south to the west of the east), creating a sense of disorientation and fluidity.

The chorus, repeating 'AQUI NO ES DONDE / NO ES NINGUN LUGAR' (Here is not where / It is no place), reinforces the idea of an undefined, almost mythical place. This place is described as having 'extravagantes fugaces ideas' (extravagant fleeting ideas) and 'folcloricas estupidas de muerte lenta' (stupid folkloric ideas of slow death), painting a picture of a whimsical yet eerie environment. The lyrics suggest a carnival-like atmosphere where normal rules do not apply, and there is no need to queue or complain, indicating a sense of freedom and chaos.

The song also touches on existential themes, describing the place as neither heaven nor hell but something in between. The inhabitants are 'pecadores comunes y abundantes' (common and abundant sinners), living in a story that the narrator himself is part of. The line 'aqui y ahora es como para darle gusto al pinche cuerpo' (here and now is to please the damn body) suggests a hedonistic approach to life, where immediate pleasures take precedence over long-term consequences. The song concludes with a nod to the few 'locos' (crazies) who can agree on this obtuse reality, highlighting the uniqueness and exclusivity of this surreal space.
