La Patada

El Bordo's song 'La Patada' is a powerful and raw expression of frustration and a yearning for change. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a stagnant and oppressive environment where the same old problems persist year after year. The opening lines, 'despierto en el mismo y antiguo escenario, las cosas no cambian y pasan los años,' set the tone for a narrative steeped in disillusionment. The 'caja' (television) and 'diario' (newspaper) are depicted as tools that perpetuate lies and distract the masses, highlighting a deep mistrust in the media.

The song delves into the societal issues that plague the everyday lives of people, such as poverty and the lack of basic necessities. The line '¿cómo se enseña a amar a alguien que no tuvo de comer?' poignantly questions how love can be taught or felt by those who are struggling to survive. This sentiment is further emphasized by the artist's disdain for superficial solutions and empty promises, as seen in the lines 'me enferma y no creo más ni una mentira de la prensa que hoy todo, todo domina.'

El Bordo also tackles darker themes, such as the abuse of power by religious figures, with the line 'en curas que chicos disfrutan tocar' evoking a visceral reaction. The song's chorus, 'quisiera encontrarle una vuelta al problema... para saber donde apuntar la patada,' metaphorically speaks to the desire to find the root of these issues and take decisive action against them. The closing lines, 'la revolución está en las mentes,' suggest that true change begins with a shift in collective consciousness, urging listeners to awaken and take part in the revolution of thought.
