La producción contiene 14 tracks ordenados en dos lados: A y B, como en los viejos casettes o discos de vinilo. Más un track interactivo con el video promocional de la canción "Caracas se quema".
Esta banda de rock está integrada actualmente por Hensli (voz y guitarra), Kuámasi (voz y guitarra), Pablo (batería) y Tafio (bajo).
Un rasgo distintivo de Autopista Sur es que no hay una sino dos voces principales. Su música es un mestizaje de rock con expresión venezolana. Y las canciones, historias o imágenes de gente que pasa inadvertida en la carretera y en la ciudad. Caracas en llamas, la estatua de María Lionza partida por la mitad, videojuegos pasados de moda, un mundo al revés, las muñecas de Reverón, un comercial de TV, el pasar de una estrella fugaz, matinés con minitecas, un agente especial buscando asesinos y amores, el diablo blanco, despedidas edificantes. Todo se suma en un sonido enérgico que se desplaza constantemente, una encrucijada de viejas texturas y arreglos modernos.
Gallo
Autopista Sur Lyrics

Tienen videojuegos pasados de moda (bis)
Soy un gallo es la verdad
Soy un gallo y me da igual
Toda la gente me ve como un raro
Son estos lentes o son mis zapatos (bis)
Soy un gallo es la verdad,
Soy un gallo y me da igual
Y esa chica que ha llegado
tiene mis lentes, los mismos zapatos
está en mi clase no puedo creer
será que ella es una galla también.
Soy un gallo es la verdad,
Somos gallos y es genial
The lyrics to Autopista Sur's "Gallo" speak to the idea of being an outsider or a misfit in society. The singer describes how they find comfort in playing video games that are considered outdated by society. This is juxtaposed with the singer's appearance, which is seen as strange by others. They wonder if it is their glasses or shoes that make them stand out. Despite feeling like a weirdo, the singer embraces their identity as a "gallo" (which can be translated as rooster or cock) and declares that they don't care what others think.
In the second verse, the singer encounters a girl who is wearing the same glasses and shoes as them. They are surprised to find someone else who might also identify as a "galla" (female version of "gallo"). The repetition of the phrase "soy un gallo es la verdad" (I'm a gallo, it's the truth) reinforces the idea that the singer is embracing their identity and refusing to conform to societal expectations. The chorus celebrates this idea, declaring "somos gallos y es genial" (we're roosters and it's great).
The song can be interpreted as a message of self-acceptance and empowerment. It encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and not be ashamed of who they are. The use of the term "gallo/galla" can also be seen as a reclaiming of a word that might be used as an insult towards those who don't fit into traditional gender roles or societal norms.
