Salgan al sol

Divididos' song 'Salgan al sol' is a powerful anthem urging people to break free from the constraints of societal norms and expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of stagnation and unfulfilled potential, symbolized by 'setenta biblioratos' (seventy binders) and 'cuatro minifaldas y un patín' (four miniskirts and a skate) left forgotten in a corner. These images represent the mundane and the neglected aspects of life, suggesting that people often get trapped in routines and material possessions that ultimately lead to a sense of emptiness.

The chorus, 'Salgan al sol, revienten' (Come out into the sun, burst), is a direct call to action. It encourages listeners to break out of their shells and embrace life with vigor and authenticity. The repetition of 'salgan al sol idiotas' (come out into the sun, idiots) serves as a wake-up call, emphasizing the urgency and necessity of this transformation. The use of the word 'idiotas' (idiots) is provocative, aiming to jolt people out of their complacency and make them realize the absurdity of their current state.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and disillusionment, as seen in the verse about 'cuatro solteronas desinfladas' (four deflated spinsters) who believe they are still charming. This imagery highlights the societal pressures and unrealistic standards that people, especially women, face. The 'mesa redonda y un doctor que les habla del amor' (round table and a doctor who talks to them about love) further underscores the superficial and often patronizing nature of societal advice. 'Salgan al sol' is a rallying cry for authenticity, urging people to shed their superficial layers and live life to the fullest.
