UOR

Eruca Sativa's song 'UOR' delves into the paradoxes and dark sides of modern progress. The opening lines, 'Margaritas pisoteadas, Paradoja del progreso,' set the tone by juxtaposing the beauty of daisies with the harsh reality of progress. This imagery suggests that in the pursuit of advancement, we often trample on the delicate and beautiful aspects of life. The repeated line 'Solo huelo pólvora' (I only smell gunpowder) underscores a sense of violence and destruction that accompanies this so-called progress.

The song critiques the cold, calculated nature of scientific advancement, as seen in the lines 'Bella ciencia solo atrasas, Mentes frías que te admiran.' Here, Eruca Sativa questions whether scientific progress truly benefits humanity or if it merely delays our understanding of more profound truths. The 'humo negro' (black smoke) symbolizes the obscuring of light and truth, hiding the real consequences of our actions. The metaphor of 'surcando en un mar de balas' (sailing in a sea of bullets) further emphasizes the pervasive violence and chaos in the modern world.

The chorus questions the value of anything in a world where 'todo es igual' (everything is the same), reflecting a sense of disillusionment and existential crisis. The repeated declaration 'No pienso esperar el final' (I don't plan to wait for the end) suggests a refusal to passively accept this grim reality. Instead, it calls for action and change, urging listeners to confront the issues head-on rather than waiting for an inevitable, destructive conclusion. Through its powerful lyrics and evocative imagery, 'UOR' serves as a poignant critique of the darker aspects of modern progress and a call to reevaluate our priorities and actions.
