Lunaticos

Tornillo's 'Lunaticos' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life in the streets, capturing the chaos, danger, and relentless pursuit of survival. The song opens with Tornillo describing himself as a 'maniático' and 'problemático,' setting the tone for a narrative filled with turmoil and instability. The use of 'polvito mágico' and 'pánico' suggests a reliance on substances to cope with the overwhelming pressures of his environment. The term 'lunático' further emphasizes his sense of alienation and the extreme measures he takes to navigate his reality.

The lyrics delve into the harsh realities of street life, where Tornillo finds himself in a 'cuarto del pánico' surrounded by 'vato satánico.' This imagery paints a vivid picture of a hostile and dangerous environment. The mention of 'raperos de plástico' and his 'fantástico' flow highlights his disdain for inauthenticity in the music industry and his pride in his own unique style. The recurring theme of 'alucina'o de la mente' underscores the mental toll of his lifestyle, suggesting a constant state of paranoia and hallucination.

Tornillo's narrative also touches on the cyclical nature of violence and poverty. He references 'sirenas patrullan por el boulevard' and 'las calles calientes,' indicating a constant police presence and the ever-present threat of violence. The lines 'drogas, mujeres, no pueden faltar' and 'la muerte esta noche vino a visitar' reflect the dangerous allure of vices and the inevitability of death in his world. Despite these grim realities, Tornillo finds solace in music, which he credits as the only thing that has changed him. His defiance against societal judgment and his commitment to his craft are evident in lines like 'no pienso cambiar nada de mí' and 'la música fue la única que me hizo cambiar.'

The song concludes with a reflection on the unchanging nature of his environment, where 'pandillas y drogas, problemas' are constants. Tornillo's pursuit of 'dinero' over 'fama' and his desire to 'elevarme' through smoking 'rama' illustrate his quest for escape and elevation above his circumstances. 'Lunaticos' is a powerful testament to the struggles and resilience of those living in marginalized communities, offering a glimpse into their world through Tornillo's eyes.
