Alguien Nos Divide
Alakran
The Divisive Forces That Tear Us Apart
Alakran's song "Alguien Nos Divide" delves into the societal and psychological forces that create division among people. The lyrics open with a powerful image of strident voices breaking the silence of the mind, suggesting the overwhelming influence of external forces on individual thought. The song criticizes how people are manipulated and turned into masses, losing their individuality and capacity for independent thinking. This manipulation is further emphasized by the preacher's command to conform and avoid using reason, highlighting the control exerted by both political and religious institutions.
The chorus, "Alguien nos divide... Nos divide el corazón," poignantly captures the emotional and spiritual fragmentation caused by these divisive forces. The song points out that whether it's politics or religion, these entities often pit people against each other, leading to conflict and division. The line "Ningún líder llorará por vos" underscores the indifference of leaders who benefit from this division, emphasizing that they do not genuinely care for the individuals they manipulate.
The song also touches on themes of corruption and hypocrisy, with references to those who wash their hands after committing wrongdoings and racists who condemn the innocent. The lyrics question why people devote their lives to leaders or doctrines that give nothing in return, urging listeners to reflect on the true value and authenticity of these beliefs. The repeated question, "Por qué siempre alguien nos divide?" serves as a call to awareness and unity, challenging the audience to recognize and resist the forces that seek to divide them.
