Pasiones Zurdas Derechas

Divididos, an influential Argentine rock band, delves into the complexities of human experience and societal contradictions in their song 'Pasiones Zurdas Derechas.' The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, painting a picture of a world filled with dualities and paradoxes. The opening lines, 'Hay dos jazmines en el cielo, hay algo allá,' suggest a sense of beauty and mystery, hinting at the coexistence of contrasting elements in life. The phrase 'se hace grito en el sonido y son la luz de la luz' further emphasizes the idea of finding clarity and truth amidst chaos and noise.

The song continues to explore these themes by juxtaposing heaven and hell, as seen in the lines 'hay un infierno en este cielo, hay un porque en este mar.' This duality is a recurring motif, questioning the nature of good and evil, and the search for meaning in a seemingly contradictory world. The reference to 'el cíclope del siglo' and 'la luz de la luz' can be interpreted as a critique of modern society's blind spots and the elusive nature of enlightenment.

In the chorus, the lyrics 'el papel y la tinta son el vuelto de un gran favor' and 'mostraste la hilacha lavando el traje de papá' suggest a critique of superficiality and the facade people maintain. The song also touches on the transient nature of news and the enduring power of music, as seen in 'noticia muere al otro día, siempre vive la canción.' The closing lines, 'resabios de un loro que redacta, regula moral de un porvenir, congela gente para un mañana, pasiones zurdas derechas,' encapsulate the song's central theme of navigating the complexities and contradictions of life, urging listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and actions.
