Decime

Bersuit Vergarabat's song 'Decime' delves into the complex and often ambiguous concept of personal freedom and its boundaries. The lyrics repeatedly ask where one person's freedom begins and another's ends, highlighting the tension between individual liberty and collective coexistence. This central question is not just about physical or legal boundaries but also about emotional and psychological spaces. The song suggests that understanding and respecting these boundaries is crucial for improving relationships and fostering genuine connections.

The lyrics also touch on themes of trust and openness. Lines like 'Decime si confías en los demás' (Tell me if you trust others) and 'Si cerraste la puerta o cerraste tu vida' (If you closed the door or closed your life) explore the idea of vulnerability and the barriers we put up against others. The song questions whether we seek clarity and genuine interaction or if we are distracted by superficial engagements, symbolized by 'la pantalla prendida' (the screen turned on). This reflects a broader societal critique of how modern technology can sometimes hinder meaningful human connections.

Moreover, 'Decime' challenges the listener to reflect on their own values and priorities. The line 'Decime si te importa el que dirán' (Tell me if you care about what they say) questions whether we live authentically or are swayed by societal expectations. The song's repeated refrain about freedom not stepping on another's ('Que no pise la mía') underscores the importance of mutual respect and understanding in any relationship. By blending introspective questions with a call for empathy, Bersuit Vergarabat crafts a thought-provoking narrative that resonates on both personal and social levels.
