Judas de Oficio

Malón's song 'Judas de Oficio' delves deep into themes of betrayal, corruption, and the harsh realities of the judicial system. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who finds himself ensnared in a web of deceit and treachery. The opening lines describe a violent raid, with police and informants working together, hinting at a corrupt system where loyalty is bought and sold. The protagonist is betrayed by someone close, leading to his downfall and a sense of profound betrayal, symbolized by 'lágrimas de traición' (tears of betrayal).

The song further explores the emotional turmoil faced by the protagonist's family, who are left pleading for mercy in front of an indifferent judge. The phrase 'judas de oficio' (professional Judas) underscores the idea of betrayal as a profession, where individuals are willing to sell out others for personal gain. This is reinforced by the imagery of 'comiendo el dinero que brinda placer' (eating the money that brings pleasure), highlighting the corrupting influence of wealth and power.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist is left isolated and abandoned by those who once benefited from his kindness. The 'peces gordos' (big fish) who orchestrated his downfall remain unpunished, leaving him to face the consequences alone. Despite the bleak circumstances, there is a glimmer of hope as he dreams of a day when he can see the light again. This reflects a longing for justice and redemption, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
