Cual Es El Precio

Attaque 77's song "Cual Es El Precio" delves into the struggles and frustrations of individuals striving to achieve their dreams in a world riddled with social and economic injustices. The lyrics express a relentless determination to overcome barriers, symbolized by the line "Cruzaré cualquier barrera sin mirar nunca hacia atrás" (I will cross any barrier without ever looking back). This determination is tempered by a recognition of the harsh realities of life, where time lost can never be regained, and hopes may die but are always reborn.

The song questions the fairness of the world, asking what price must be paid for dreams to become reality. This is poignantly captured in the chorus, "Cuál es el precio que tenemos que pagar para que los sueños se nos hagan realidad" (What is the price we have to pay for our dreams to come true). The lyrics criticize the economic system, highlighting how the working class is burdened with deductions from their wages while the wealthy enjoy luxuries, as seen in the lines "Cuánto más de nuestro sueldo nos irán a descontar para que algunos señores se vayan a veranear" (How much more of our salary will they deduct so that some gentlemen can go on vacation).

The song also touches on a spiritual dimension, questioning the existence and role of a higher power in the face of such injustices. The plea for divine intervention, "Y si hay un Dios que es el que reina que despierte de una vez" (And if there is a God who reigns, let him wake up at once), underscores the desperation and helplessness felt by those who are struggling. This call for awakening is not just a spiritual plea but a demand for social change, reflecting the band's punk rock ethos of challenging the status quo and advocating for a more just society.
