Tras La Alambrada

Elektroduendes' song 'Tras La Alambrada' delves into the harrowing experiences of individuals trapped in a state of hopelessness and despair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of lost lives and empty gazes, symbolizing the emotional and physical exhaustion of people who have endured extreme suffering. The imagery of rain falling on despair and death waiting with a smile on its face evokes a sense of inevitable doom and the cruel indifference of fate.

The song's portrayal of hundreds of naked men standing in silence, surrounded by an ominous atmosphere, highlights the dehumanizing conditions faced by these individuals. The cold wind that 'arrasa posibilidades' (sweeps away possibilities) and 'predice verdades' (predicts truths) serves as a metaphor for the harsh realities that strip away any hope for a better future. This chilling depiction of an extermination camp, referred to as a 'cementerio de sueños' (cemetery of dreams), underscores the devastating impact of such environments on the human spirit.

The refrain 'tras la alambrada' (behind the barbed wire) emphasizes the confinement and entrapment experienced by the victims. The death that smiles with a 'risa desquiciada' (deranged laughter) personifies the relentless and merciless nature of their suffering. Through its stark and powerful lyrics, 'Tras La Alambrada' serves as a poignant reminder of the atrocities faced by those who have been stripped of their dignity and humanity, urging listeners to reflect on the importance of compassion and empathy in the face of such horrors.
