sonando

Callejeros' song 'Sonando' is a powerful critique of superficiality and the societal pressures to conform. The lyrics express frustration with the obsession over appearances and the influence of fashion trends, as seen in lines like 'Porque me desespera tanto que te incendies la cara' and 'Será que el fabricante de modas para esta semana el que te responde todas, no me convenció.' The 'fabricante de modas' (fashion designer) symbolizes the ephemeral and often hollow nature of societal expectations, which fail to provide genuine satisfaction or meaning.

The recurring line 'Siguen sonando asi, sonando rocanroles' serves as a rallying cry for authenticity and rebellion. Rock and roll, a genre historically associated with counterculture and resistance, is used here as a metaphor for staying true to oneself and rejecting superficial norms. The song suggests that despite the pressures to conform, the spirit of rock and roll—symbolizing freedom and authenticity—continues to resonate.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of disillusionment with societal success and the false triumphs of 'impostores' (impostors). The line 'cuanta gloria, cuanto triunfo de impostores en nuestra cara' highlights the prevalence of superficial success and the emptiness it brings. Callejeros calls out the 'necio en su derrota' (fool in his defeat), emphasizing the futility of chasing hollow victories. The song ultimately champions the idea of finding truth and meaning beyond societal expectations, urging listeners to embrace their true selves and resist the allure of superficial success.
