Caer

The song 'Caer' by Don Osvaldo, a rock band from Argentina, delves into themes of self-awareness and societal critique. The lyrics suggest a moment of realization, where one becomes aware of the constraints and injustices of the world. The phrase 'Cuando te caiga la ficha y no el Sol' metaphorically indicates an awakening to a harsh reality, rather than the gentle fall of sunlight. This awakening is tied to the understanding of fear and worry that often governs our lives.

The song continues to explore the dissolution of a bond, possibly between the individual and society, or between two people, as indicated by the 'alianza entre tu risa y yo' (alliance between your laughter and me). The transformation of shame into courage is seen as a necessary step to break through societal ceilings, metaphorically described as a 'techo de cristal' (glass ceiling). The imagery of being broken to let the light in suggests that through our flaws and vulnerabilities, we can find truth and enlightenment.

The latter part of the song addresses gender inequality and the systemic oppression that forces individuals into specific roles, as seen in the line 'Cuando ganes igual trabajando de lo mismo.' It calls for liberation from these imposed identities and the freedom to choose one's path. The song's message is a call to action, to not be a passive participant in one's own oppression, but to actively seek a life of choice and dignity.
