pgaspar I certainly didn't expect this song to send me on an existential journey contemplating my own lack of perspective, yet here we are!

But I guess that's the point... Thank you.

LYRICS

No era libre en su cabeza
traía infectada la falta de perspectiva
y como para sentir que esto sí lo decidía
clavó su tacón en una sien ajena

Cómo no va a importar el arte
si viste a una misma cosa con mil caras
predicando que se puede escoger
la forma en que existimos en el mundo

“Mi vida no fue lo que hice,
fue como lo sentí
Mi vida no fue lo que tuve.”

Y entre tantas perspectivas
la persona se hizo libre
aprendió a ensamblar la propia
fue en sí misma empoderada

Y al paso de las circunstancias
vivió como decidió
usando los ojos artistas

No era libre en su cabeza
traía infectada la falta de perspectiva
y como para sentir que esto sí lo decidía
clavó su tacón en una sien ajena

Comenzó cuando había hambre
y el sabor de una injusticia
Siempre el mismo zumbido herido
de pobreza e impotencia

O creció
entre charlas grises del dinero y su fuerza
la vida fue una sola línea:
adelante y en reversa

Y vendió, torturó y mató gente
hasta que se le murió lo humano
Y el zumbido seguía creciendo
la pobreza se hacía dinero
el poder vino de otro aplastado
y en su única perspectiva
no quedó nada sagrado

Artistas a trabajar
la gente se está muriendo.

[en México y en Gaza y en Sudán]

//ENG translation//

He was not free in his head,
his lack of perspective was infected
and to feel that this one thing he would decide
he sank his heel into someone else’s temple.

How could art not be important
if it clothes the same thing in a thousand faces,
preaching that one can choose
the way we exist in the world.

“My life was not what I did,
it was the way I felt it.
My life was not what I had.”

And among these many perspectives
a person became free,
learned how to assemble their own,
and was within theyself empowered.

Through the pacing of circumstances
they lived as they decided to,
using the artist’s eyes.

He was not free in his head,
his lack of perspective was infected
and to feel that this one thing he would decide
he sank his heel into someone else’s temple.


It began when there was hunger
and the taste of injustice
always the same aching buzz
of poverty and powerlessness

or it grew
among grey chats of money and its strength
life was single-lined:
forward and in reverse

and he sold, tortured, and killed people
until the human in him died
And the buzz kept growing
poverty became money
power came from a smashed other
And in his only perspective
there was nothing sacred left.

Artists, get to work.
People are dying.
