Tu condición

Barricada's song 'Tu condición' delves into the harsh realities of societal and judicial oppression. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where punishment is seen as the primary solution, and the law is an unyielding force that traps individuals. The opening lines, 'El castigo como solución / la norma esta para cumplir,' set the tone for a narrative that critiques the rigid and often unjust legal system. The weight of justice is depicted as a heavy burden, with the individual feeling trapped and powerless against the law's might.

The song further explores the personal struggle of the protagonist, who is forced to fight in their own way, often by suppressing their true feelings and desires. The lines 'Te toco luchar / a tu manera reventar / agachando el cuello cada vez' highlight the internal conflict and the constant need to conform to survive. The judge, who decides the fate of individuals, is portrayed as an omnipotent figure, knowing the most about good and evil, further emphasizing the power imbalance.

Barricada also contrasts the lives of those born into different circumstances. The protagonist is born 'en el lado del terror,' unable to cry or protest, with their fate sealed as a 'perdedor' or loser. In stark contrast, those born into privilege exploit others without hesitation, their lives marked by their 'condición de señor.' The repeated phrase 'La razón, razón de la sinrazón' underscores the absurdity and inherent contradictions within the system. Through 'Tu condición,' Barricada delivers a powerful critique of societal and judicial inequalities, urging listeners to reflect on the true nature of justice and the arbitrary lines that define winners and losers in life.
