Elite de Sicarios
Alfredo Olivas
The Ruthless World of Elite Hitmen
Alfredo Olivas' song "Elite de Sicarios" delves into the dark and violent world of professional hitmen. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a group of thirty elite assassins, each prepared for the brutal tasks ahead. They travel in groups of five per vehicle, armed with high-powered weapons like the M-60 and grenades, ready to execute their deadly missions. The song's narrative is unapologetically raw, highlighting the cold-blooded nature of these individuals who are always prepared to 'volar cabezas' (blow heads off) to achieve their objectives.
The song's chorus emphasizes the elite status of these hitmen, who are described as wearing white attire, a possible metaphor for their perceived purity or superiority in their line of work. They show no respect for others' territories, always moving forward with unwavering determination. This relentless forward motion signifies their commitment to their cause, regardless of the moral implications. The repeated line, "Siempre van para delante porque nada los arrienda" (They always move forward because nothing holds them back), underscores their ruthless and unstoppable nature.
Olivas also touches on the backgrounds of these hitmen, noting that some are former military personnel while others are well-trained recruits sent by terrorists. This detail adds a layer of complexity to their characters, suggesting that their skills and strategies are rooted in military training and experience. The imagery of 'corazones desalmados' (soulless hearts) further emphasizes their lack of empathy and the extent of their desensitization to violence. The song concludes with a chilling reminder of their efficiency and the bloodshed they leave in their wake, as they swiftly retreat to their hideout after completing their mission.
