In “FIERA DE MÍ,” Maria Arnal i Marcel Bagés deliver a scorched-earth critique of the ego, wrapped in a high-octane blend of Iberian folk-futurism and electronic glitch. From the opening line, „¿Quién quiere nacer humana?” (Who wants to be born human?), the track establishes itself as a post-humanist manifesto. Arnal’s vocals—ranging from crystalline precision to a primal, „gutural” intensity—navigate Bagés’ jagged, percussive landscape. It is a song that feels like it was excavated from a Mediterranean cave but polished in a high-tech laboratory, capturing the exact moment where tradition collapses into the digital avant-garde.

The track is a direct strike against the „clic del capital” (the click of capital) and the suffocating structures of „la mano occidental” (the western hand). By invoking the „medieval witch” and the „ancestral cosmos,” Arnal and Bagés connect modern burnout to a long history of silenced voices. The lyrics reject the modern invention of identity in favor of a raw, animalistic vitality—a „fiera” (beast) that emerges when the boring, tedious constraints of „humanity” are stripped away. This is not just a song about desire; it is a commentary on how the neoliberal obsession with the self has caused a „lost heartbeat” that can only be recovered by returning to our „animal nature.”

The song’s final movement shifts from a critique of destruction to a philosophy of survival. When Arnal sings that care should not be a „moral caprice” but a „vital condition,” she redefines our relationship with the „mineral kingdom” and the „bees without a hive.” For our Eurasian readership, this track resonates as a call for a new ecological ethics—one that moves beyond Western individualism toward a shared, vital existence. “FIERA DE MÍ” is a rare masterpiece that manages to be both a club-ready anthem and a dense philosophical text, proving that the most radical music today is found where the ancient and the futuristic collide.

quién quiere nacer humana?
qué soporrrr la humanidad!
provocar el fin del mundo
inventar identidad!?
yo ya lo tenía claro
desde que te vi llegar
aunque tú también humana sacas mi animalidad!

caminito de perlas muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello
caminito de perlas
muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello…
YA!

vivir un presente eterno
hasta que llegue el final!
mis garras y tus garras
en ggggggemido gggggutural
quién quiere nacer humana?!
soportarrrr la humanidad?
tanto latido perdido
por el clic del capital
díselo a las afectadas
por la mano occidental
y a los secretos muertos
de ese cosmos ancestral
y las lágrimas en flamas
de la bruja medieval?
que te cuenten las abejas
que se pierden sin panal!

caminito de perlas muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello
caminito de perlas
muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello…
YA!

en cada rincón del mundo y en el reino mineral
hay algo que los humanos dimos tan por natural:
y si cuidar no fuera capricho moral….?!
y fuera pura condición vital!!!!???

caminito de perlas muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello
caminito de perlas
muerde muerde
muérdeme el cuello…
YA!

who wants to be born human?
what a bore, humanity!
to provoke the end of the world
to invent identity!?
I already had it clear
since I saw you arrive
even though you’re also human, you bring out my animal side!

little path of pearls bite bite
bite my neck
little path of pearls
bite bite
bite my neck…
NOW!

to live an eternal present
until the end arrives!
my claws and your claws
in guttural moan
who wants to be born human?!
to endure humanity?
so much heartbeat lost
to the click of capital
tell it to those affected
by the western hand
and to the dead secrets
of that ancestral cosmos
and the tears in flames
of the medieval witch?
let the bees tell you
who are lost without a hive!

little path of pearls bite bite
bite my neck
little path of pearls
bite bite
bite my neck…
NOW!

in every corner of the world and in the mineral kingdom
there’s something that we humans took for granted:
what if caring weren’t a moral whim….?!
and were pure vital condition!!!!???

little path of pearls bite bite
bite my neck
little path of pearls
bite bite
bite my neck…
NOW!
