Fuera de Acá

Bersuit Vergarabat Bersuit Vergarabat

A Satirical Critique of Fame and Society

Bersuit Vergarabat's song "Fuera de Acá" is a satirical and critical take on fame, societal norms, and the superficiality that often accompanies both. The lyrics begin with a plea to stop blaming God for personal misfortunes, setting the tone for a song that questions and mocks various aspects of modern life. The repeated phrase "paso facturas" (which can be translated as "I pass the bill" or "I hold grudges") suggests a reckoning or a call for accountability, both personally and socially.

The song's protagonist describes his face as being made of plasticine, a metaphor for the malleability and artificiality of his public persona. This plasticity allows him to seduce and gain fame, but it also highlights the emptiness and falseness of such a life. The line "un famoso jamás es tarado" (a famous person is never a fool) is dripping with irony, suggesting that fame often comes with a loss of authenticity and intelligence.

The chorus, with its repeated calls for various figures to be expelled ("fuera de acá"), targets different societal elements: repressors, those who have been pardoned for their crimes, and the police. This reflects a deep discontent with the social and political landscape. The protagonist's escape to Alaska and his love for an Eskimo who doesn't recognize him as a singer further emphasize his desire to flee from the superficiality of fame. Even his turn to religion and the absurd image of God becoming a fan of Bersuit Vergarabat serve to underline the song's satirical nature. Ultimately, the song is a powerful critique of the superficiality, hypocrisy, and corruption that can pervade both personal and societal spheres.
