Faith and Redemption in a Corrupt World

El Roockie's song "Atrás" delves deep into themes of faith, redemption, and the omnipresence of a higher power, specifically Jehovah. The repeated refrain, "Atrás... no lo subestimes, no lo engañaras," serves as a stern reminder that one cannot deceive or underestimate God. The lyrics emphasize that salvation is not about outward appearances or good deeds but about the purity and sincerity of one's faith and redemption through the Savior.

The song also critiques societal corruption and hypocrisy. El Roockie points out how many enrich themselves through corruption and ambition, neglecting the needy and maintaining a facade of respectability. He highlights the disparity between the wealthy, who often escape accountability, and the poor, who suffer the consequences. This critique is encapsulated in lines like "De saco y corbata a ladrón" and "cuando lo interrogan por la televisión de su hipocresia no te dan la impresión." The artist underscores that while humans may justify their actions, Jehovah sees and judges the true nature of their spirits.

In the latter part of the song, El Roockie contrasts human institutions' failures with the divine provision and justice of Jehovah. He references how God provides for His children even in dire circumstances, such as bringing water from rocks. The song calls for individuals to turn to God, relinquish their burdens, and prioritize their spiritual well-being over worldly conflicts. The repeated invocation of Jehovah's name reinforces the message that divine oversight and justice are ever-present, urging listeners to live righteously and sincerely.
