Contradecir

La Vela Puerca's song 'Contradecir' delves into the complexities of human emotions and the struggle for identity in a world filled with contradictions. The lyrics express a desire to escape the burdens of thought and feeling, wishing to become a ghostly figure, detached from the world's pressures. This longing for detachment is juxtaposed with the reality of intense emotions that cannot be ignored, leading to a transformation driven by anger and frustration.

The song also touches on the theme of authenticity and the masks people wear. The lines 'Maldita excusa la que pinta ser quien sos' and 'Y alguien dibuja realidad solo pa´ vos' suggest a critique of superficiality and the false personas people adopt. The artist questions the sincerity of these facades and the impact they have on one's true self. This is further emphasized by the struggle to 'soltar sin antes agarrar,' highlighting the difficulty of letting go of pretense and embracing genuine identity.

Moreover, 'Contradecir' reflects on societal pressures and the feeling of being suffocated by external expectations. The lyrics '¿Quién nos ahoga y no nos deja respirar?' and 'Detrás del muro ya casi no queda calor' convey a sense of being trapped and the loss of warmth and humanity behind societal walls. The song calls for a confrontation with these pressures, urging individuals to break free from the constraints and find their true selves. La Vela Puerca's powerful delivery and poignant lyrics make 'Contradecir' a compelling exploration of the human condition and the quest for authenticity in a contradictory world.
