PUNKYFER

The song PUNKYFER by the band La Polla Records is a powerful declaration of freedom and resistance. The lyrics express a feeling of liberation from chains and oppression, symbolizing a break with the past and with those who tried to subjugate the lyrical self. The repetition of the idea that they will "never again" be bothered reinforces the determination to move forward, free from the negative influences that surrounded them.

The context of the song suggests that it is a tribute to drummer Fernando, who passed away a year before its release. The lyrics reflect the pain of loss, but also the strength and resilience to keep fighting, even in the face of adversity. The mention of smoking a "joint" in honor of those who tried to "hunt him" can be seen as a gesture of defiance and celebration of life, despite the hardships. The song conveys a message that the struggle continues and that it is necessary to keep moving forward, without being weighed down by grief.

The song also carries a message of solidarity and camaraderie. The reference to the "mates I left behind" suggests that, although the lyrical self has been freed, they still maintain a connection with those who share the same struggle. The song ends with a call to action, encouraging the fight until the "damned end," reinforcing the idea that resistance is continuous and necessary. This message strongly resonates with the punk spirit of the band, known for its politically engaged and socially critical lyrics.
