D-d dance, d-d dance d-d dance, d-d dance
Breastfed Federation breastfed Federation
Un recoveco a lo hecho, pecho
Pa 'lante, culo pa 'tras
Hecho pa 'lante, soberana
Lesbiana (Degenerate) lesbianas
Un recoveco a lo hecho, pecho
Pa 'lante, culo pa 'tras (Degenerate)
Vándalo, vándalo ven pa' acá
Que no te me enfríes vándalo, vándalo
Ven pa' acá que no te me enfríes
Vándalo, vándalo ven pa' acá

Una molécula hormonal

Y dale duro y frénale suave

The lyrics to Arca's song Alto Voltaje convey a sense of empowerment and defiance, with the repetition of "dance" and "Breastfed Federation" creating a rhythmic and hypnotic effect. The phrase "Breastfed Federation" could be interpreted as a reference to a nurturing and supportive community, possibly alluding to a sense of unity and strength among individuals who have been raised or supported in a similar way. The line "Un recoveco a lo hecho, pecho" suggests a bold and unapologetic attitude towards one's past actions, with a perhaps rebellious embrace of one's history.
The mention of moving forward while also looking back ("Pa 'lante, culo pa 'tras") could symbolize a balancing act between progression and reflection, acknowledging the importance of both past experiences and future aspirations. The line "Hecho pa 'lante, soberana" seems to emphasize a sense of agency and sovereignty, particularly within the context of "Lesbiana Degenerate lesbianas." This juxtaposition of power dynamics and societal expectations may hint at themes of nonconformity and liberation.
The chorus introduces the character of the "vándalo," possibly representing a disruptive force or rebel figure. The repeated invitation for the vándalo to approach without hesitation ("ven pa' acá, que no te me enfríes") could signify a call to action or a plea for authenticity and boldness. The repetition of this refrain adds a sense of urgency and insistence, suggesting a desire for uninhibited expression and engagement.
The final section of the lyrics delves into themes of heightened emotion and physicality, with references to hormonal fluctuations and the potential dangers of "Alto voltaje" (high voltage). The mention of a woman with elevated levels of estrogen and testosterone may symbolize a state of heightened arousal or intensity, with the repeated refrain emphasizing the impact of these internal changes. The closing question, "¿Dónde están los lobos?" (Where are the wolves?), could serve as a provocative and open-ended inquiry, inviting listeners to consider themes of danger, instinct, and primal urges in the context of the song's narrative.
