Funeral (feat. Easy-S)

The song 'Funeral' by Ayax y Prok, featuring Easy-S, delves deep into the struggles and resilience of individuals trapped in challenging environments. The opening lines set a somber tone, describing a feeling of entrapment and isolation, symbolized by waking up in a dark, empty box. This metaphorical box represents the oppressive circumstances that the artist feels confined within, searching for light but finding none. The lack of mobile coverage and the slow depletion of air further emphasize the sense of hopelessness and suffocation.

The lyrics then transition to a broader commentary on the socio-economic conditions of their neighborhood. The artists describe themselves as 'diamantes sin pulir' (unpolished diamonds) and 'superdotaos' (super gifted), highlighting the untapped potential and talent that remains unrecognized due to their environment. The references to drugs, uncut diamonds, and untapped gold symbolize the raw, unrefined potential that is stifled by their surroundings. The artists express frustration at the systemic barriers that prevent them from realizing their full potential, condemning them to a life of struggle and survival.

Despite the bleak circumstances, the song carries a message of resilience and determination. The artists urge their listeners to take control of their lives, to 'levanta el culo' (get up) and change their fate. They acknowledge the harsh realities of their environment but emphasize the importance of fighting back and not succumbing to despair. The references to the devil, Belcebú, and the struggles with inner demons underscore the internal battles they face. Yet, they also celebrate their victories, their ability to fill shows and connect with their audience, symbolizing a triumph over adversity. The song ends on a note of solidarity and strength, toasting to health and resilience, ready to face whatever comes next.
