Aguilera is a good singer with a talent for finding simple melodies amidst rather complex songs. On "El Fluir" the band decided to record live and to cut back on the keyboard and programmed additions to their music. Surprisingly, the result is not an over-the-top jamfest but rather a very tightly arranged set of songs that hint at the overwhelming power they will possess in concert. As always, the two guitar interplay between Aguilera and Otaola is not to be missed as they exhaust all forms of playing together and against one another (with Otaola pulling all sorts of radical sounds out of his guitar). "El Fluir" is their first US release since "Tempestad" in 1998. This edition is further sweetened by the inclusion of a previously unreleased bonus track and a video for the first single "Pare de Sufrir."
Their latest offering is Piedad Ciudad (2010, Fonarte, Fonca).
Estallido Interno
La Barranca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
el ansia de una ráfaga centrífuga
siento que todos los países giran ya dentro de mí
los astros se amontonan en mi cráneo
Cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí
cabalgata, estallido interno
no estar ni despierto ni soñando
y resolver esta ecuación de la ansiedad inmensa
poder sentirlo todo en todas partes
Cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí
cabalgata, estallido interno
cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí
cabalgata, estallido interno
Todos los amantes se besaron en mi alma
todos los ladrones son igual que yo
y en un abrazo acaricié todas las horas de tu vida
Cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí
cabalgata, estallido interno
cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí
cabalgata, estallido interno
The lyrics of La Barranca's song, Estallido Interno, describe a feeling of intense internal turmoil, a dizzying sense of being overwhelmed by the weight of the world. The singer feels the speed and centrifugal force of the world inside their head, with all the countries and stars swirling around inside. The lyrics suggest a yearning to be able to feel everything, to be fully present and aware of all that is happening in the world.
The repetition of the phrase "cabalgata de las cosas sobre mí" (literally "ride of things over me") reinforces this sense of being carried away by the world's chaos. The singer is dissociated from their own body and senses, describing a kind of liminal state where they are neither awake nor dreaming. They long to resolve the equation of their immense anxiety, to be able to feel everything all at once.
The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. The singer imagines all the lovers kissing in their soul, all the thieves being like them, and in an embrace, they are able to caress all the moments of their loved one's life. This moment of connection and tenderness offers a respite from the overwhelming forces of the world.

De acuerdo a mi interpretación, claramente es una alusión a un despertar de consciencia, sentirlo todo en todas partes! Desprenderse de la ilusión de la separación. Todos somos uno, uno somos todos...
