Embracing the Canine Spirit: A Rebellion Against Human Norms
Attaque 77's song "Ojos de Perro" delves into the perspective of someone who identifies with the instincts and behaviors of a dog, rejecting human societal norms and constraints. The lyrics express a sense of freedom and independence, highlighting the protagonist's disconnection from human constructs like nationality, language, and morality. By stating, "No tengo bandera ni nación, no hablo tu idioma, soy un animal," the singer emphasizes a primal existence that transcends human boundaries and societal expectations.
The song continues to explore this theme by contrasting the protagonist's instinctual life with the rationality and power struggles of humanity. Lines like "no necesito reglas, no necesito moral" and "seres racionales y el poder los hace matar" critique the often destructive nature of human rationality and the corrupting influence of power. The protagonist's canine perspective allows them to see through human pretenses, relying on instinct and intuition to navigate the world. This is evident in the lines, "veo el aura, leo tu intención, tengo instinto y sé cuando debo ladrar," which suggest a heightened sense of awareness and an ability to perceive true intentions.
The repeated refrain, "porque tengo ojos de perro, porque veo como perro, porque pienso como perro, soy un perro," reinforces the protagonist's identification with a dog's way of life. This identification is not just about behavior but also about a deeper connection to a more authentic, unfiltered existence. The song celebrates the loyalty, love, and raw honesty that dogs embody, contrasting it with the often hypocritical and harmful behaviors of humans. By embracing the canine spirit, the protagonist finds a sense of belonging and authenticity that is absent in human society.
