Hoy todo va al reves

Antonio Orozco's song 'Hoy todo va al revés' delves into the chaotic and often contradictory nature of modern society. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where logic and reason are frequently turned on their heads. Orozco begins by highlighting the senselessness of violence, suggesting that physical blows and legal judgments often defy rational understanding. This sets the stage for a broader critique of societal norms and injustices.

The song continues to explore various forms of societal dysfunction, such as the hidden hunger behind wars and the superficial importance placed on material wealth. Orozco uses powerful imagery to convey the idea that the true costs of conflict and discrimination are often obscured. The recurring theme of things being understood 'al revés' (backwards) underscores the pervasive sense of disorientation and moral confusion.

In the chorus, Orozco laments that despite the best intentions of individuals and even divine will, money often takes precedence over love and genuine human connection. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line 'aquí manda el dinero y luego el corazón' (here money rules, and then the heart). The song's poignant message is a call to recognize and challenge the upside-down values that dominate our world, urging listeners to seek a more just and compassionate society.
