Capo capón

Divididos' song 'Capo capón' delves into the chaotic and often contradictory nature of human thought and emotion. The lyrics open with a reflection on the disjointed and spontaneous nature of thoughts, suggesting that they are often unfiltered and unplanned. This randomness is highlighted by the lines 'Son frases sueltas sin pensar / o imagen suelta sin pensar,' which translate to 'They are loose phrases without thinking / or loose images without thinking.' The singer grapples with self-reflection and the difficulty of focusing on oneself while being preoccupied with others, as seen in 'Pensando en mí no pienso en mí / pensando en vos no pienso más' ('Thinking about me, I don't think about me / thinking about you, I don't think anymore')

The song then transitions to a more sensory experience, with references to sounds and smells that evoke a sense of home but also suffocation. This duality is captured in 'Escucho un ruido sin pensar / olor a hogar que puede ahogar' ('I hear a noise without thinking / smell of home that can drown'). The struggle between self-awareness and external distractions continues, emphasizing the difficulty of maintaining focus and clarity in a chaotic world.

The chorus introduces the concept of 'capo capón,' a phrase that seems to encapsulate a world of superficiality and forgotten love. The repetition of 'Mundo de capo capón / y te olvidaste del amor' ('World of capo capón / and you forgot about love') serves as a critique of a society that prioritizes trivial matters over genuine emotional connections. The imagery of swimming in a sea of 'blood and milk' and the playful references to soccer moves and a siren in Castellar add layers of complexity, suggesting a journey through a world filled with both danger and allure. Ultimately, 'Capo capón' is a poignant commentary on the fragmented nature of modern life and the importance of remembering love amidst the chaos.
