Encerrada En El Placard

The song 'Encerrada En El Placard' by AIRBAG delves into the life of a woman who feels out of place and misunderstood in her world. The lyrics paint a picture of someone born in the wrong era, who hides her true self away, symbolized by the 'placard' or closet. This metaphorical closet represents a place of concealment where she keeps her real identity and emotions hidden from a society that neither loves nor understands her. The song suggests that she never chose to be hated or loved, but rather, she was forced into a life of secrecy and isolation.

The recurring theme of not confessing her 'wild' life indicates a struggle with societal norms and expectations. The lyrics 'Nunca confesó que su vida era salvaje' (She never confessed that her life was wild) suggest that her true nature is untamed and free-spirited, yet she feels compelled to hide it. The song also touches on the idea of blame and guilt, with lines like 'No vengas por mí, ya no busquen un culpable' (Don't come for me, stop looking for someone to blame), indicating a desire to escape judgment and find peace.

The imagery of her body being an 'addiction of the miserable' and the 'color of evil' reflects the harsh judgments and objectification she faces. Despite her attempts to escape and find truth, she ends up back in the closet, symbolizing a cycle of running away but never truly finding freedom. The song concludes with a plea for liberation, 'Libérame, llévame algún lugar' (Free me, take me somewhere), highlighting her desperate need for a place where she can be herself without fear or shame.
