Vieja satisfacción

Barricada's song 'Vieja satisfacción' delves into the raw and primal emotions associated with the pursuit of victory and the satisfaction that comes with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relentless struggle, likening the protagonist's determination to the hunger of a starving person. This metaphor underscores the intensity and desperation driving the individual to achieve their goal, no matter the obstacles or the cost.

The imagery of 'morder y agarrar todo lo que puedas' (bite and grab everything you can) further emphasizes the aggressive and almost animalistic nature of this pursuit. The song speaks to the idea of seizing every opportunity before it's too late, capturing the urgency and the high stakes involved. The reference to 'gotas de sudor tiemblan en la barbilla' (drops of sweat trembling on the chin) adds a physical dimension to the struggle, highlighting the effort and exertion required to reach the top.

The repeated phrase 'vieja satisfacción' (old satisfaction) suggests a timeless and universal feeling of triumph. This satisfaction is not just about winning but about overcoming significant challenges and breaking through barriers, as illustrated by the line 'romper los cristales ¡por fin entra el aire!' (break the glass, finally the air comes in). The song concludes with a sense of enduring victory, celebrating the protagonist's ability to conquer and emerge victorious, a theme that resonates deeply with listeners who have faced their own battles and emerged stronger.
