Robó Un Auto

Hermetica's song 'Robó Un Auto' tells a compelling story of rebellion, freedom, and self-determination. The narrative begins with a protagonist who steals a car to escape the oppressive solitude of urban life. This act of defiance is not just a physical escape but a symbolic rejection of societal constraints. The protagonist's dream is to feel a profound connection with something greater, a yearning for a life beyond the mundane and restrictive norms of the city.

The lyrics describe the protagonist's journey, taking advantage of a city-wide blackout to make their escape. This moment of darkness represents a break from the 'bitter salts' of their previous life, a metaphor for the hardships and limitations they faced. The protagonist's determination is highlighted by their ability to evade both law enforcement and mechanical failures, symbolizing their relentless pursuit of freedom. The imagery of the protagonist crossing the desert like a lightning bolt emphasizes their swift and unstoppable nature.

As the journey progresses, the protagonist meets a young woman, and together they carve out a new life, free from societal expectations. They build their own refuge, defying the harshness of winter and the challenges of their environment. The birth of their children and their gratitude to a 'living God' signify a deep sense of fulfillment and spiritual liberation. The song concludes with a powerful message about self-governance and the rejection of urban conformity, celebrating the couple's ability to control their own destinies and find divinity within themselves.
