La Fiera

El Soldado's song 'La Fiera' is a powerful commentary on societal and political issues, wrapped in vivid metaphors and poignant imagery. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where those in power sow seeds of venom, leading to widespread pain and suffering. The phrase 'sembrando todo ese veneno' (sowing all that venom) suggests the deliberate actions of those in control, resulting in the 'cosecharon este dolor' (harvest of pain). This metaphor highlights the cause-and-effect relationship between the actions of the powerful and the suffering of the masses.

The song continues to describe how these figures of authority celebrate their control, 'levantando sus copas brindaron' (raising their glasses in a toast) and 'rieron por televisión' (laughed on television), indicating a sense of detachment and indifference to the pain they cause. The repetition of 'todo bajo control' (everything under control) is laced with irony, suggesting that while the powerful believe they have everything managed, there is an underlying unrest brewing among the people.

The chorus introduces the concept of 'la fiera' (the beast), symbolizing the latent anger and rebellion within the oppressed. This beast, 'agasapada en las esquinas de las calles' (crouched in the corners of the streets), represents the potential for uprising and change. The imagery of 'corazones latiendo fuego' (hearts beating fire) and 'astillas de ilusiones a puro dolor' (splinters of illusions in pure pain) conveys the intense emotions and shattered dreams of the people. The song ends on a note of anticipation, with the beast waiting for the right moment to strike, embodying the hope and resilience of those who suffer under oppressive regimes.
