Te Voy a Atornillar

Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota, often referred to simply as 'Los Redondos,' are a legendary Argentine rock band known for their enigmatic lyrics and powerful social commentary. 'Te Voy a Atornillar' is a song that delves into themes of control, submission, and the complex dynamics of power in relationships. The lyrics are repetitive and intense, creating a sense of suffocation and relentless pressure, which mirrors the song's subject matter.

The repeated phrases like 'Te aprieto mucho' (I squeeze you a lot), 'Te asfixio mucho' (I suffocate you a lot), and 'Te impacto mucho' (I impact you a lot) suggest a relationship where one party exerts overwhelming control over the other. The use of the word 'atornillar' (to screw or bolt down) in the title and lyrics further emphasizes the idea of being trapped or pinned down, unable to escape. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for various forms of oppression, whether in personal relationships or broader societal structures.

The line '¿cómo puede ser que te alboroten mis placeres?' (how can it be that my pleasures disturb you?) adds another layer to the song, hinting at the selfishness and lack of empathy from the controlling party. This line suggests that the oppressor is aware of the discomfort they cause but is indifferent to it, prioritizing their own desires over the well-being of the other. The song's relentless rhythm and repetitive structure enhance the feeling of being caught in an inescapable cycle of domination and submission, making 'Te Voy a Atornillar' a powerful commentary on the darker aspects of human relationships and power dynamics.
