No Le Des Fuerza a Babilonia

Alika & Nueva Alianza's song "No Le Des Fuerza a Babilonia" is a powerful anthem of resistance against oppression and systemic injustice. The lyrics repeatedly question why one should give strength to those who seek to harm and suppress. The term 'Babilonia' is a metaphor for oppressive systems and corrupt authorities that thrive on the energy and compliance of the people they subjugate. By refusing to support these systems, the song advocates for the empowerment of individuals and communities to reclaim their autonomy and dignity.

The chorus, with its emphatic repetition of "Para que darle fuerzas a quien quiere matarte" (Why give strength to those who want to kill you), serves as a rallying cry for listeners to withdraw their support from oppressive forces. The imagery of burning the 'wickedman' symbolizes the destruction of evil and corrupt entities. This metaphorical burning is a call for justice and the eradication of malevolent influences that perpetuate suffering and inequality.

In the verses, Alika denounces the glorification of historical figures who were oppressors and killers, rejecting the celebration of their legacies. She criticizes the limitations imposed on education and the exploitation of natural resources, highlighting the systemic barriers that hinder true progress and enlightenment. The song's message is clear: to achieve genuine freedom and justice, one must actively resist and dismantle the structures that perpetuate oppression. By doing so, individuals can reclaim their power and contribute to a more equitable and just society.
