Cosacuosa

Árbol's song 'Cosacuosa' delves into the complexities and struggles of life, using vivid and often surreal imagery to convey its message. The lyrics paint a picture of stagnation and entrapment, symbolized by the recurring water motifs. The opening lines, 'Todo este tiempo consumiendo la leche, todo este mar acariciándote la piel,' suggest a prolonged period of passivity and consumption, where the protagonist is enveloped by the sea, a metaphor for life's overwhelming and often suffocating nature.

The song continues to explore themes of decay and paralysis. Phrases like 'el tiempo te llena la cabeza de musgo' and 'hoy sos un esqueleto que se ríe de lejos' evoke a sense of being stuck in time, with the mind and body deteriorating. The imagery of 'la sal te está enroscando y se te traba la lengua' further emphasizes the idea of being silenced and immobilized by external forces. The 'montón de pescaditos' resting on the tongue could symbolize the weight of unspoken words or unfulfilled desires.

In the chorus, 'cosacuosa, cabeza venenosa, fucking cosa, que no te la tosas,' the term 'cosacuosa' (a play on 'cosa' and 'acuosa') could be interpreted as a toxic, fluid-like entity that infects the mind. The repeated advice to be cautious, 'igual vos sabes, hay que andar precavido,' serves as a warning to navigate life's treacherous waters carefully. The song's surreal and often dark imagery reflects the band's alternative rock style, known for its introspective and socially conscious lyrics. Árbol uses these metaphors to highlight the importance of awareness and caution in a world that can easily consume and paralyze those who are not vigilant.
