aturde — dazes / stuns

Aturde means 'dazes' or 'stuns'. It's a less common verb that conveys a strong sense of being overwhelmed or disoriented.

In the song, the lyric "Esta onda de choque me aturde y me hace pensar" (This shockwave dazes me and makes me think) uses aturde to describe the powerful, almost disorienting effect of seeing someone special. It's a vivid way to express being captivated to the point of feeling a bit stunned, making it a memorable and impactful word.

Plastilina Mosh turns day-to-day boredom into a flashy fantasy in “Millionaire.” The verses open with the singer shrugging at the news, the future, and the routine—“todo es igual”—until a single look from a special someone jolts him awake. Suddenly his mind races, his hands sweat, and the predictable world feels electric. Love, or at least infatuation, gives him that rush he was missing.

The chorus cranks the exaggeration to eleven: “Baby, I’m a millionaire… I got power like Tony Blair.” These lines are not about actual money; they are playful bravado. When the hunter becomes the prey (“el cazador se convierte en presa”) he gladly “loses the game” because being near this person already makes him feel rich. In other words, emotional wealth beats material wealth every time. With a catchy “caching caching” echoing the sound of coins, the song celebrates how a crush can transform an ordinary guy into a self-proclaimed king of the world—wallet optional.
