Tarántula is Natalia Lacunza’s fierce declaration of independence. The Spanish singer spins the image of a stealthy spider to describe her own transformation: once harmless, now armed with a bite. She admits to overthinking, craving solitude and silence, but the chatter around her keeps growing. Fed up with rumors and expectations, she finally raises her voice, vowing to “burn the city” with her critics still inside. The tarantula becomes a symbol of self-protection and latent power that warns everyone: approach slowly, curiosity can cut like glass.
At its core, the song is an anthem of self-empowerment and boundaries. Lacunza tells listeners that speaking out is the antidote to feeling trapped by others’ opinions. The hypnotic repetition of “Ahora me vas a escuchar” (“Now you’re going to listen to me”) drives home her resolve to be heard and respected. With electronic beats and haunting vocals, “Tarántula” invites us to shed our old, harmless skins, embrace our inner venom when necessary and spin our own webs of strength.
