Arca embraces fluidity and changing between states, whether it be gender, genre, or personality. In a 2020 interview, they say "We all have multiple personalities. Rather than causing panic, I think maybe that could cause some relief". "There was a clear intention on her fourth album, Kick i to allow every self to express itself. Not to decide how much air time each self would get, but to allow for modulation between them in a spontaneous way. There is no such thing as normal". In Mutability and ambivalence guide the sound of her music — the atmospheres they create often contain abrasive percussive blasts, metal-shop whine, the screech of subway brakes, the whine of jet engines overheating. Anthropomorphic and animalistic sounds abound —mewling cats, mooing cows, anguished screams, the grunts and groans of orgasm, commingling pleasure and terror and beauty and ugliness in the most thrilling ways possible.
She has also been credited for her writing/producing efforts on Björk's Vulnicura and the entirety of Utopia. Alongside FKA twigs' EP2 as well as for their collaborations with Dean Blunt, Frank Ocean, Kelela, Kanye West, ROSALÍA and Lady Gaga, among others.
Hija
Arca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me dejes nunca
Yo ya no puedo más, vivir sin ti
Yo ¿Cuándo? ¿Cuándo? ¿Cuándo? ¿Cuándo?
Yo ya no puedo
The lyrics of "Hija" are from the perspective of someone who is desperately in love with another person, longing for their presence and unable to imagine a life without them. The song begins with the repetition of "yo," which can be translated to "I" or "me," creating a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The line "te siento en mí" can be interpreted in different ways, but it likely refers to the omnipresence of the beloved in the singer's thoughts and emotions. The plea "no me dejes nunca" (don't ever leave me) underlines the fear of abandonment and the need for constant reassurance. The subsequent line "yo ya no puedo más" (I can't take it anymore) reinforces the idea that the separation or absence of the loved one is unbearable. The final question "yo ¿cuándo?" (me, when?) shows the singer's desperation and confusion, as they don't know how to cope with the intensity of their feelings and the uncertainty of the relationship.

@IDEK Alright cool but;
1. Taylor is just more known than Arca, there's no other way around that so obviously she got more attention, it's dishonest and unreasonable to compare the two in that aspect.
and
2. It was using Arca's work as a way to complain about Taylor Swift instead of actually, genuninely celebrating Arca.
It's the shitty behavior of a bitter person, if the praise is only predicated on dragging another down then it isn't praise.

this is one of my favorite songs (if not my favorite) off the kick saga. The innocence and moodiness is such beautiful juxtaposition. Reminds me of a baby girl waiting to be born. Pobrecito chiquita :-(

This song makes me feel what didn't make any song make me. I see my childhood relationship with my mother, our quarrels and how she loved and shouted at me. It's like I'm starting to rot and decompose. I feel bad about it, but I don't want to stop it
