The Inescapable Struggles of Life: A Deep Dive into 'Por salir corriendo' by Barricada

Barricada's song 'Por salir corriendo' delves into the harsh realities and struggles faced by marginalized individuals. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with constant movement and uncertainty, symbolized by the phrase 'andar de aquí para allá' (walking from here to there). The imagery of 'calle mojada, cara sin nombre' (wet street, nameless face) evokes a sense of anonymity and desolation, highlighting the plight of those who are often overlooked by society.

The song also touches on the theme of death as a form of escape or relief for the 'humillados' and 'desheredados' (the humiliated and disinherited). The line 'viven mejor después de muertos' (they live better after death) suggests that for some, the afterlife offers a respite from the suffering endured in life. The 'sombra del cuervo' (shadow of the crow) serves as a metaphor for death, knocking on their door with a single finger, indicating its inevitability and the thin line between life and death.

The chorus, 'Nadie evita la paliza por salir corriendo' (No one avoids the beating by running away), underscores the futility of trying to escape one's problems. It suggests that no matter how far or fast one runs, the struggles and challenges of life will always catch up. The repetition of 'Puedes pensar que es mentira' (You might think it's a lie) adds a layer of irony, as it challenges the listener to confront the harsh truths that are often ignored or dismissed. The song concludes with a call to 'Despiertate' (Wake up), urging listeners to face reality and acknowledge the inescapable hardships of life.
