La Comunidad

Tan Bionica's 'La Comunidad' delves into the chaotic and often surreal nightlife of a city, capturing the essence of urban youth culture. The song opens with a declaration of 'la comunidad,' a term that signifies a collective experience shared by the city's inhabitants. This community is characterized by a constant flux of people, embodying the transient and ephemeral nature of urban life. The lyrics suggest a search for meaning and connection amidst this chaos, highlighting existential dilemmas that are difficult to assimilate.

The song's narrative unfolds in a 'noche psicótica ligera,' or a 'light psychotic night,' a phrase that encapsulates the disorienting and intoxicating atmosphere of the nightlife. The mention of 'amiguitas perdidas' (lost little friends) and 'chicas alcohólicas y reas' (alcoholic and delinquent girls) paints a vivid picture of the characters populating this nocturnal world. These descriptions underscore the superficiality and fleeting nature of first impressions, which are deemed 'verdaderas' (true) in the context of the night.

At its core, 'La Comunidad' explores themes of identity and escapism. The protagonist acknowledges being a 'slave' to a certain personality, which he describes as a form of 'clandestinidad' (clandestinity). This duality reflects the tension between one's true self and the persona adopted in social settings. The night becomes a space where desires and vulnerabilities are laid bare, and the 'eternal temptation' of this lifestyle is both alluring and destructive. The song's repetitive structure and hypnotic rhythm mirror the cyclical nature of these experiences, emphasizing the inescapable pull of the night and its illusions.
