The lyrics in the first verse suggest a scene of chaos and bloodshed, with references to red blood flowing through the streets. This imagery could represent the violence and turmoil present in society. The lines "mira cómo lo menea" and "mírame a los ojos" may allude to a provocative dancer or performer who captivates attention and invites scrutiny. This could imply the fascination with spectacle and the desire for connection in a world filled with destruction.
The second verse introduces elements of sexuality and power dynamics. The lines "vistiendo de cuero" and "quemando ese cuerpo" evoke a sensual atmosphere, illustrating a dominant and provocative persona. The references to bones and thickness express a lustful appetite and physical desire.
In the third verse, the lyrics take a more abstract turn as they mention a girl bending a spoon with her mind and the flow of fiery ardor. This may be interpreted as a metaphor for someone who possesses extraordinary talent or an unconventional approach to life. The phrase "con cenizas en la frente" suggests a mysterious mark or sign that sets a person apart.
The fourth verse introduces imagery of a flexible and confident woman, likened to a whip-cracking Catwoman. This may symbolize a fearless and unpredictable individual who enjoys playing with power dynamics and challenging societal norms. The mention of stealing a cellphone could represent the act of reclaiming personal autonomy and defying expectations.
Throughout the song, the repeated chant of "incendio" reinforces the theme of fire and passion. It symbolizes the intensity, rebellion, and transformative power of both literal and metaphorical flames. The song's overall meaning could be interpreted as embracing one's desires, exploring unconventional paths, and reckoning with the chaos and excitement of life.

Roja, roja la sangre
Que corre por la calles
Roja, roja la sangre
Mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira cómo lo menea
Mira, mírame, mira, mírame a los ojos
Mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira cómo lo menea
Incendio
Vistiendo de cuero
Quemando ese cuerpo
Bruja
Chupándome los huesos
Bien espeso eso es hueso
Eso, eso, hey, hey
La niña dobla la cuchara con la mente
Ni lo siente, no te avientes, ni resientas
De este flow de fuego ardiente
Te lo pongo bien demente
Con cenizas en la frente
Baby, ¿Tú cómo te sientes? Dime to'
Te lanzo un triquitraqui pa' la jeta
Ya tú sabes que me reta, que le doy, que te doy
Que te escoñeto toda, toda, toma
Incendio (hey)
Fémina elástica latigazo
Tú sólo hazme caso
Gatúbela sin titubear
Que te robo el celular, jaja
Mira, la niña se pinta
Tú dime la Santa María

The lyrics of Arca's song, "Incendio," paint a vivid picture of a fiery scene, both literally and figuratively. The repeated phrase, "Roja, roja la sangre," which translates to "red, red the blood," creates a haunting image of blood flowing through the streets. This line is followed by "Mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira cómo lo menea," which means "look, look, look, look, look, look, look how it moves." The repetition of "mira," or "look," here suggests a sense of urgency, as if the singer is trying to draw attention to something important. The final line in this segment, "Mira, mírame, mira, mírame," or "look at me, look at me," gives the impression that the singer may be in danger and asking for help.
The chorus of the song, "Incendio," further emphasizes the theme of fire and destruction. The word "incendio" itself means "fire" in Spanish. The phrase "vistiendo de cuero," or "dressed in leather," suggests a sense of danger or rebellion, while "quemando ese cuerpo," or "burning that body," again hints at the theme of destruction. The line "bruja" means "witch," adding a supernatural quality to the imagery. The phrase "chupándome los huesos, bien espeso eso es hueso," is difficult to translate directly, but the use of "huesos," or "bones," again underscores the idea of the physical body and destruction. Overall, "Incendio" is a powerful and intense song that creates a vivid and haunting visual and emotional world.

Only Arca can release a MV for a song that she released 2 years ago
@Tomatism27
everyone should do that, many musicians pour so much energy in their music, it's nice to see them "extend the lifespan" of songs imho :))))
