The Relentless Pursuit of Expression in 'Cuerdas, gargantas y cables'

Sumo's song 'Cuerdas, gargantas y cables' delves into the relentless pursuit of artistic expression and the inherent struggles that come with it. The lyrics, delivered with a raw and unfiltered energy, reflect the band's ethos of using every part of themselves—throats, heads, and even cables—to create and live their art. The repetition of 'do it, do it, do it' until death underscores a commitment to their craft that is both passionate and unyielding.

The imagery of a 'blue, blue train racing through my brain' suggests a mind constantly in motion, filled with ideas and creativity that can sometimes feel overwhelming. This metaphor of a runaway train highlights the chaotic and often uncontrollable nature of inspiration and the mental toll it can take. The line 'trying to make me insane' speaks to the fine line artists walk between genius and madness, a common theme in the world of rock and roll.

Sumo also touches on the broader existential struggle of life itself, encapsulated in the phrase 'fight or die.' This stark dichotomy reflects the high stakes of their chosen path, where success and failure are often a matter of survival. The mention of 'rock'n roll kings' being of marginal interest suggests a disillusionment with fame and the superficial aspects of the music industry. Instead, the band seems to find meaning in the act of creation itself, regardless of external validation. The repeated assertion that 'it's all the same' could be interpreted as a commentary on the cyclical nature of life and art, where despite the highs and lows, the essence remains unchanged.
