Brujerismo

The song 'Brujerismo' by Brujeria is a powerful and provocative piece that delves into themes of rebellion, dark faith, and societal disillusionment. Brujeria, known for their extreme metal style and controversial lyrics, often tackles subjects that challenge conventional beliefs and norms. In 'Brujerismo,' the band juxtaposes brujería (witchcraft) and satanismo (Satanism) against traditional religious faith, particularly Christianity, to highlight a sense of betrayal and failure by established religious institutions.

The lyrics open with a stark declaration of 'Hoy brujerismo pa tí satanismo!' which translates to 'Today witchcraft for you, Satanism!' This sets the tone for the song's defiant stance against conventional religious beliefs. The lines 'Fé en lo viejo te está chingando' and 'Virus de cristo te está fallando' suggest that faith in old doctrines is failing and harming people, likening it to a virus. This metaphor indicates a deep disillusionment with Christianity, portraying it as an outdated and ineffective belief system.

As the song progresses, it emphasizes the idea of mental and societal control, with phrases like 'Infesta gente jodiendo mentes' (Infesting people, screwing minds) and 'Maquinas de hoy son como gente, Programados contra todo' (Today's machines are like people, programmed against everything). These lines critique the modern world's mechanization and the loss of individuality, suggesting that people are being programmed to conform and lose their sense of rebellion. The repeated invocation of 'Brujerismo' and 'Satanismo' serves as a call to embrace alternative beliefs and reject the status quo, advocating for a radical shift in perspective and a break from societal constraints.
