Soy Rebelde

Attaque 77's song "Soy Rebelde" delves into the emotional landscape of a person who feels alienated and misunderstood by society. The lyrics express a deep sense of rebellion that stems from a lack of love and understanding. The protagonist declares, "Yo soy rebelde porque el mundo me hizo así," which translates to "I am a rebel because the world made me this way." This line sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting how external factors and societal neglect have shaped their rebellious nature.

The song continues to explore the reasons behind this rebellion, emphasizing the absence of love and the constant denial of their needs. The lines "Porque nadie me ha tratado con amor" and "Me negaron todo aquello que pedí" reveal a life filled with emotional neglect and unfulfilled desires. This lack of compassion and understanding has led the protagonist to a state of rebellion, not out of choice, but as a response to their circumstances.

Despite the rebellious exterior, the song also reveals a longing for happiness and acceptance. The protagonist wishes to be like the happy child or man, to give everything in exchange for an illusion of happiness. The desire to "cantar y reír y olvidar mi dolor" (sing and laugh and forget my pain) underscores a deep yearning for joy and a respite from their suffering. This duality of rebellion and longing for happiness makes the song a poignant reflection on the human condition and the impact of societal neglect on an individual's psyche.
