Cementerio Punk

Bulldog's song 'Cementerio Punk' is a raw and poignant reflection on the struggles faced by those who feel marginalized and out of place in society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a group of individuals seeking solace and camaraderie in a 'punk cemetery,' a metaphorical space where they can escape the oppressive forces of societal norms and laws. The repeated lines 'Ves, estas mejor en un cementerio punk que en las calles' (You see, you're better off in a punk cemetery than on the streets) underscore the sense of alienation and the desire for a safe haven away from judgment and persecution.

The song delves into the frustration of not being able to fight against the established order, as expressed in lines like 'No podes luchar !! - contra las leyes' (You can't fight against the laws) and 'No podes luchar !! - contra sus jueces' (You can't fight against their judges). This highlights the feeling of powerlessness and the constant state of being at odds with societal expectations. The cemetery becomes a symbol of rebellion and a place where they can be themselves without fear of retribution.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more personal and introspective tone. The protagonist describes a state of decay and disillusionment, feeling 'totalmente podrido' (completely rotten) and disconnected from their surroundings. The questions 'Adónde están mis amigos? Adónde esta el dinero? Adónde esta la comida?' (Where are my friends? Where is the money? Where is the food?) reflect a sense of loss and confusion, exacerbated by substance abuse and a lack of direction. This part of the song captures the bleak reality of those who feel abandoned and forgotten, struggling to find meaning and purpose in a world that seems indifferent to their plight.
