Contra La Pared
Mama Soy Demente Lyrics

The lyrics of Mama Soy Demente's song Contra la Pared talk about the struggle of living and surviving in a world where everybody wants to be the best, where money is everything, and where humans are capable of destroying what they create. The words "Estoy muriendo / Todo el tiempo / Varado en este infierno / Lo único que me queda es / Esperar" translate to "I'm dying / All the time / Stranded in this hell / The only thing left for me is to wait."
The singer feels like they are constantly struggling to survive and stuck in a hopeless situation. The lyrics use metaphors such as being "parado contra la pared" or standing against the wall, which symbolizes feeling trapped and defeated. Furthermore, the lines "No existe malo ni bueno / Todos queremos ser primeros / El mas grande come al pequeño / Todo el mundo busca dinero" mean "There's no good or bad / We all want to be first / The bigger ones eat the smaller ones / Everybody's looking for money." The song is conveying the message that humans have created a world where someones' success is often measured by how much money they have, and the strong and the powerful devour the weak.

The chorus, "Contra la pared / entendiendo el ¿por qué? / Contra la pared... entendiendo" translates to "Against the wall / understanding the why? / Against the wall...understanding." This part of the song emphasizes how powerless the singer feels, as if there's no way out of their situation. It leaves an open-ended question about what the singer has learned or what is it that they understand.
