Alimento
Presidente Lyrics

In the song "Alimento" by Presidente, the lyrics "Me abandono campo abierto por querer llenar / Mi cuerpo con el mar, video por secar / Tan profundo y afilado como la verdad / Que corta sin cortar, me voy a derramar" suggest a sense of emptiness or searching for fulfillment. The singer seems to be abandoning themselves in an open field in an attempt to fill a void within them with the sea. The comparison of the sea to a sharp truth that cuts without actually cutting implies a deep emotional intensity and vulnerability that may lead to overflowing emotions.

The following lines, "Estoy, descalzo y muy hambriento / Estoy, queriendo recordar / ¿Será, que no me lo merezco? / Sentir: ya no me sirve más," delves into introspection and self-doubt. The singer expresses feeling barefoot and hungry, emphasizing a physical and emotional emptiness. The questioning of whether they deserve something and the feeling that sensation no longer serves them could indicate a disconnect from their own emotions or a sense of numbness.

As the song progresses with the lines "Voy quemando mis cartuchos de banalidad / No puedo parar, no quiero parar / Y el planeta es casi como un centro comercial / Negro y sin calor, triste y sin piedad," there is a shift towards a critical reflection on superficiality and consumerism. The singer seems to be consumed by trivial pursuits and is unable to stop, perhaps feeling trapped in a world that is devoid of warmth and compassion, likened to a commercialized and soulless place.

In the final verses, "Se van, mis mónadas al viento / Estoy, mintiéndole a papá / ¿Será que no me lo merezco? / Final: ya no me sirve más," there is a sense of disintegration and deception. The singer's essence or individual units (mónadas) seem to scatter in the wind, symbolizing a loss of cohesion or identity. The act of deceiving their father and questioning their worthiness raise themes of guilt and unresolved familial relationships, ultimately leading to a conclusion that something is no longer serving them. The overall tone of the song conveys a deep sense of disillusionment and longing for something more meaningful and authentic.
