Alta Suciedad

Árbol's song 'Alta Suciedad' delves into the dark underbelly of societal hypocrisy and corruption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where even the so-called champions are afraid to fight, not wanting to risk their hands because they have to sing. This metaphor suggests that those in power or in the spotlight are more concerned with maintaining their status and image than with taking real action. The 'protector bucal' and 'bombo de la ciudad' symbolize the superficial protections and distractions that keep people from addressing the real issues at hand.

The chorus, 'Alta suciedad, basura de la alta suciedad,' translates to 'High society, trash of high society,' and it underscores the song's central theme: the distrust and disillusionment with those in positions of power. The repetition of 'no se puede confiar en nadie mas' (you can't trust anyone anymore) highlights a pervasive sense of betrayal and cynicism. This sentiment is further echoed in the verses, where characters like 'Pipi' and the 'señor banquero' represent different facets of societal decay. Pipi's eagerness to learn to bark, despite being a nobody, reflects the desperation to gain respect in a corrupt system, while the banker symbolizes financial exploitation and deceit.

The song also touches on personal betrayal and the hollow promises of those who pretend to be friends. The line 'Estoy cansado de los que vienen de amigos y solo quieren es rellenarme el agujero' (I'm tired of those who come as friends and only want to fill my hole) speaks to the emotional and financial exploitation that the narrator experiences. The repeated refrain and the final lines about the champion's fear serve as a powerful reminder of the pervasive fear and inaction that allow corruption to thrive. Through its raw and unflinching lyrics, 'Alta Suciedad' offers a biting critique of a society riddled with hypocrisy and moral decay.
