Decadencia

Disidente's song 'Decadencia' delves into the dark and haunting themes of personal decay and betrayal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist grappling with the relentless presence of decadence, which seems to follow them like a shadow. The opening lines, 'Dices me iré mañana me colgaré / La decadencia me vuelve a visitar,' suggest a sense of impending doom and a cyclical return to a state of moral or emotional decline. This recurring visit of decadence symbolizes a struggle that the protagonist cannot escape, pleading for help as they feel trapped in this downward spiral.

The mention of 'Judas' throughout the song adds a layer of betrayal and disillusionment. Judas Iscariot, known for betraying Jesus in the Bible, is a powerful metaphor for someone who has been betrayed by those they trusted. The lines 'Grandes actos no funcionan Judas tú tambíen' and 'Me dijiste se un buen hombre, Judas tu tambíen' reflect a sense of futility in grand gestures and the hypocrisy of those who preach goodness but act otherwise. This betrayal is not just external but internal, as the protagonist feels the voices of decadence and betrayal within themselves, leading to a profound inner conflict.

The repetition of 'Judas también, tu eres Judas también!' emphasizes the universality of betrayal and the idea that everyone has the potential to betray or be betrayed. This creates a sense of shared human experience, where decadence and betrayal are not isolated incidents but part of the human condition. Disidente's raw and intense musical style amplifies these themes, making 'Decadencia' a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human nature and the struggle for redemption and freedom from inner demons.
