Ellos Dicen

Dread Mar I's song 'Ellos Dicen' delves into the complex relationship people have with faith and belief. The lyrics repeatedly highlight the irony of individuals who claim not to believe in God, yet invoke His name in moments of distress. This contradiction is captured in the recurring lines, 'Ellos dicen que no creen y lo nombran' ('They say they don't believe and they name Him') and 'oh my goth! o dios! salvame!' ('oh my god! oh god! save me!'). The song suggests that while these individuals may verbally deny their faith, their actions in times of need reveal an underlying reliance on a higher power.

The song also touches on the superficiality of such declarations. Dread Mar I points out that these invocations of God's name are not rooted in genuine belief or heartfelt conviction, but are merely empty words. This is emphasized in the lines, 'No esta en su corazón pero si en su boca' ('It's not in their heart but in their mouth'). The artist criticizes the hollow nature of these proclamations and the inconsistency between what people say and what they truly feel.

Furthermore, 'Ellos Dicen' addresses the judgment and tribulation faced by those who are sincere in their beliefs. The lyrics, 'Y hay que aguantar que te juzguen a vos' ('And you have to endure being judged'), reflect the societal pressure and scrutiny that believers often endure. Dread Mar I calls for a deeper introspection and a genuine connection to one's faith, urging listeners to 'abre ya los ojos, el fin ya llegó' ('open your eyes, the end has come'). The song serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of authenticity in one's beliefs and the consequences of living a life disconnected from true conviction.
