Mordiendo La Ciudad

Snake's song 'Mordiendo La Ciudad' delves into the complexities of urban life and the relentless passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the constant changes and pressures of city living. The phrase 'mordiendo la ciudad' (biting the city) metaphorically captures the struggle to keep up with the fast-paced environment, where everything seems to be in a state of flux. The protagonist feels the weight of expectations and the inevitability of time, which 'se burla de los dos' (mocks both of us), highlighting a sense of powerlessness against the relentless march of time.

The song also touches on themes of personal growth and resistance to societal pressures. The lines 'No me digas que madure ni que sea como vos querés' (Don't tell me to grow up or be like you want) reflect a defiance against conforming to others' expectations. Instead, the protagonist seeks fulfillment on their own terms, asking for what they need to make others feel good, yet acknowledging that some things cannot be changed. This duality of seeking personal dreams while navigating societal expectations is a central theme in the song.

'Mordiendo La Ciudad' also explores the idea of dreams and aspirations amidst the chaos. The repeated lines 'Siempre quiero un poco más, salgo a buscar algo que soñar' (I always want a little more, I go out to find something to dream) suggest a relentless pursuit of dreams, even when faced with the harsh realities of urban life. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance, recognizing that despite the challenges, 'al final, no está tan mal' (in the end, it's not so bad). This acceptance is intertwined with a dream-like state, where the protagonist finds solace in their dreams, which become a form of escape and a way to differentiate from the mundane.
