Problemas

The song 'Problemas' by Barricada delves into themes of societal unrest and personal rebellion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where individuals are constantly questioning authority and the status quo. The opening lines, 'Quién mira, quién rompe / quién ha llamado a gritos / con patadas y con golpes,' suggest a chaotic environment where people are both observers and participants in acts of defiance. This duality is a recurring theme, highlighting the internal and external conflicts faced by individuals in a repressive society.

The chorus, 'Llama la subversión a tu cabeza / deja que entre hoy / ¡no puedes faltar! Problemas. Problemas,' serves as a rallying cry for rebellion. It encourages listeners to embrace subversive thoughts and actions, suggesting that problems are an inevitable part of challenging the system. The repetition of the word 'Problemas' underscores the idea that these issues are not just personal but systemic, affecting everyone who dares to question or resist.

Further into the song, lines like 'Quién roba, quién miente / que entre la corriente / a ver a quién se lleva' and 'Buen comienzo si sabes colarte en la fila / poco a poco... no te dejes ver' emphasize the clandestine nature of rebellion. The imagery of theft, lies, and sneaking into lines suggests that subversion often requires cunning and stealth. The final lines, 'Afiladas brillan las alas de la mosca... / no te dejes ver,' reinforce this idea, comparing the sharp, shining wings of a fly to the need for vigilance and discretion in the face of oppression.

Barricada, known for their punk rock style, uses 'Problemas' to convey a powerful message about the necessity and inevitability of rebellion. The song's raw energy and provocative lyrics serve as a call to action, urging listeners to confront and challenge the problems within their society.
