Aburridos peligrosos
Divididos
The Dangerous Boredom of Modern Society
The song 'Aburridos peligrosos' by Divididos delves into the disillusionment and frustration with contemporary society. The lyrics open with a striking image of extraterrestrials growing tired of humanity's self-destructive tendencies. This metaphor highlights the alienation and disappointment felt towards a world that seems to be spiraling into chaos and moral decay. The phrase 'pato criollo del maltrato mundial' suggests a local, perhaps Argentine, perspective on global mistreatment and exploitation, emphasizing the universality of these issues.
The song contrasts different eras, mentioning 'era de agua, era de plomo,' which could symbolize times of purity and times of violence, respectively. The current era, however, is marked by a symbol that has grown larger than the individual, possibly alluding to the overwhelming influence of consumerism, technology, or political ideologies. The repeated refrain 'aburridos peligrosos' (dangerously bored) captures the essence of a generation that, in its boredom, turns to harmful behaviors and self-destructive patterns. This boredom is not just a lack of activity but a profound existential void that leads to 'autocastran el amor,' or the self-destruction of love and human connection.
The song also poses a poignant question about the legacy left for future generations: 'y a esos pibes qué mundo les dejás.' This line underscores the responsibility of the current generation to consider the world they are shaping for their children. The repetition of 'mundo les dejás' at the end of the song serves as a haunting reminder of the consequences of today's actions. Divididos uses their platform to critique societal norms and provoke thought about the direction in which humanity is headed, urging listeners to reflect on their role in this collective journey.
