Music
The song begins in a climatic way, with psychedelic touches. However, Cerati suddenly breaks the passivity of the song in the chorus, where the song has a total turn in every direction, both rhythmic and sonorous, towards a much more rocky and crude style, with the presence of distorted guitars and a battery More powerful. The chorus has an epic style and seems almost intended for a stadium situation and for public participation. As curiosity, the original song was played with acoustic guitar, but in the live presentations Cerati rarely interpreted with this type of guitar.
