Mundua Begiratzeko Leihoak

Berri Txarrak's song "Mundua Begiratzeko Leihoak" ("Windows to Look at the World") is a powerful commentary on modern society's tendency to avoid confronting reality. The lyrics begin with a warning against looking out of windows, metaphorically suggesting that windows are guillotines. This imagery implies that looking out and seeking the truth can be dangerous, as it might lead to losing one's mind or facing harsh realities. Instead, the song suggests that people are encouraged to watch television, a medium that often presents a controlled and sanitized version of reality, thus keeping the viewers' minds in check.

The song continues to emphasize the dangers of looking outside, even when storms break the windows. It suggests that people should live with domestic insects, a metaphor for living in a controlled, confined environment, and stay with their own death, symbolizing a life devoid of true awareness and engagement with the outside world. The outside world is depicted as empty, except for the decapitated heads of those who dared to look out and the cars with alarm systems, which are at rest. This imagery paints a bleak picture of a society that discourages curiosity and critical thinking.

In the final lines, the song warns against seeing a wild duck rowing in the sky, a symbol of freedom and natural beauty that is not part of the controlled alphabet of society. This suggests that true freedom and beauty are not recognized or valued in the current societal framework. Berri Txarrak, known for their thought-provoking lyrics and alternative rock sound, use this song to challenge listeners to question the reality presented to them and to seek a deeper understanding of the world around them.
