La Cabeza
La Castañeda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
abrir, cerrar, interneuronal
en tus sentidos resentidos
hay compuestos descompuestos
algo pasa en tu interior
se te desprende la cabeza
la cabeza
Con la conciencia anestesiada
y la imagen alterada
tu cabeza se te va
rodando en el vacio
de tus ojos hundidos
te encuentras perdido
en la cabeza
la cabeza
la cabeza
Paz, ansiedad, intracerebral
morir, luchar, en la frontera molecular
en tus sentidos resentidos
hay compuestos descompuestos
extirpemos el tumor
que se ha formado en
la cabeza
la cabeza
la cabeza
Con los sistemas disociados
y receptores afectados
si tu cabeza se te va
se te bloqueo el fluido
en tus nervios torcidos
no te quedes vencido
de cabeza
de cabeza
de cabeza
ve por tu cabeza
piensa en tu cabeza
saca tu cabeza
ve por tu cabeza
piensa en tu cabeza
saca la cabeza
ve por tu cabeza
The song "La Cabeza" by La Castañeda delves into the complexities of the human mind and the impact of internal struggles on our mental health. The lyrics portray a sense of confusion and detachment from reality, as the singer describes the effects of "electromagnetic light and darkness" and "interneuronal opening and closing" on their "resentful senses." The compounds that are decomposed within the singer suggest a deeper layer of instability or decay within their consciousness. The repetition of the phrase "the head" throughout the song reveals the focus on the mind as the root of their troubles.
As the song progresses, we see the singer losing their grip on their own thoughts and perceptions. The words "anesthetized consciousness" and "altered image" imply that the singer is experiencing some form of dissociation. The imagery of the head "rolling in the void" and the "sunken eyes" paint a vivid portrait of the chaos and despair present within the singer's mental state. The repeating of "the head" becomes a mantra that anchors the song in its theme of the importance of the mind's health.
The song moves towards a call to action, as the singer urges themselves and the listeners to "think of your head," "take out your head," and "go for your head." The focus on "intracerebral peace and anxiety" and "molecular fighting and dying" suggest that it is important to confront and overcome adversity within ourselves to achieve a sense of inner peace. The repeated chorus of the song only reinforces this message, as the singer continually calls for attention to be paid to the mind's health and well-being.
