Final

Buitres' song 'Final' paints a stark and haunting picture of urban life, capturing the sense of despair and violence that permeates certain environments. The lyrics open with a nostalgic reflection on a time when life seemed simpler, only to quickly shift to a grim reality where danger lurks around every corner. The mention of 'Los Glingons' and 'disparos y corridas por la television' evokes images of gang violence and media sensationalism, suggesting a world where violence is both a spectacle and a constant threat.

The song's refrain, 'En Uruguay o en el infierno, en cualquier parte igual,' underscores the universality of this experience, implying that such violence and despair are not confined to one place but are a global phenomenon. This is further emphasized by the lines 'No hables de Bosnia y Ruanda, si en la esquina de tu casa tiran a matar,' which draw a parallel between international conflicts and local violence, urging listeners to recognize the severity of issues in their own communities.

As the song progresses, it delves deeper into the consequences of this violence. The imagery of a deserted neighborhood filled with 'perros, humo y silencio' paints a picture of abandonment and desolation. The lines 'despues que pasa el tiempo, no hay llantos para vos' and 'no hay cantos para vos' suggest a sense of hopelessness and the idea that, over time, the victims of this violence are forgotten. The song concludes with a critique of societal distractions like 'trabajo, droga, futbol, cumbia, rocanrol,' implying that these elements serve to numb people to the harsh realities around them. The final lines, 'El justo no es el grita mejor, el justo esta callado y pregunta que paso,' highlight the importance of introspection and questioning in the face of injustice, rather than being swayed by loud, superficial voices.
