Aperturas

Belona Mc's song "Aperturas" is a powerful critique of the socio-economic structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice. The lyrics delve into the struggles and pitfalls faced by individuals in a capitalist society, highlighting the relentless battles and the lack of shortcuts to success. The artist uses vivid imagery and metaphors to describe the hardships, such as "Caída, tropiezos y bajos" (falls, stumbles, and lows) and "Guerras potentes sin ningún atajo" (powerful wars without any shortcuts), emphasizing the relentless nature of these struggles.

The chorus of the song underscores the pervasive influence of capitalism, where "Miles de personas siguiendo el mismo ritmo" (thousands of people following the same rhythm) signifies the conformity and loss of individuality in the pursuit of material wealth. The lyrics critique the egoism and egocentrism that capitalism fosters, as people become absorbed in their own reflections and desires, losing sight of collective humanism and liberalism. This is evident in lines like "El egoísmo abarca su ausencia en si mismo" (egoism encompasses its absence in itself) and "Egocentrismo fuerte se asombra en su espejismo" (strong egocentrism is amazed in its mirage).

Belona Mc also addresses the disparity between the rich and the poor, pointing out the hypocrisy and deceit of the powerful. The lyrics "De los ricos poderosos misteriosos, Mentiroso, espantosos, Fastidiosos" (of the rich powerful mysterious, liars, frightening, annoying) reflect the artist's disdain for the elite who manipulate and exploit the system to their advantage. The song calls for awareness and resistance, urging listeners to recognize the flaws in the socio-economic system and to strive for a more just and equitable society. The repeated references to rap as a medium for truth and resistance, such as "Defendiendo el rap sincero chilenos" (defending sincere Chilean rap), highlight the artist's commitment to using music as a tool for social change.
