El Pizaron

Cain's song 'El Pizaron' is a vivid portrayal of youthful rebellion and the struggle against societal norms. The lyrics paint a picture of a young person feeling aggression and discontent, symbolized by the departure from the warmth of the palm trees to the cold, gray capital. This transition represents a shift from a place of comfort to one of harsh reality, where the protagonist feels out of place and misunderstood.

The recurring theme of not getting along with 'el pizarron' (the blackboard) is a metaphor for the protagonist's disdain for formal education and structured learning. This aversion is further emphasized by the protagonist's alignment with rock and roll, a genre historically associated with rebellion and nonconformity. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist finds solace and identity in music, which stands in stark contrast to the rigid expectations of the educational system.

The song also touches on the passage of time and the persistence of these feelings into adulthood. Despite reaching their thirties, the protagonist still feels the same discontent and finds humor in the absurdity of societal expectations. The mention of the devil's admiration and the camaraderie with Jaime Lopez in the alley, drinking beers, underscores a sense of defiance and solidarity among those who reject conventional paths. 'El Pizaron' is a powerful anthem for those who feel alienated by traditional structures and find their true selves in the freedom of rock and roll.
