Te Vigilan (se Estrecha El Cerco)

Elektroduendes' song "Te Vigilan (se Estrecha El Cerco)" delves into the pervasive surveillance and control exerted by authorities over individuals who dare to challenge the system. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society where privacy is a luxury, and every move is monitored. The opening lines, "Saliendo de tu casa estan en cualquier lugar / No te das cuenta no lo puedes evitar," set the tone for the song, highlighting the omnipresence of surveillance. The repeated assertion that "Te tienen controlad@ saben mucho más" underscores the extent of this control, suggesting that the authorities know more about individuals than they might realize.

The song also addresses the labeling of dissenters as terrorists, a tactic used to delegitimize and criminalize opposition. The phrase "Terrorista de baja intensidad" reflects how even minor acts of resistance are branded as terrorism. This is further emphasized by the lines "Lo llaman terrorismo a estar contra el sistema," which criticize the misuse of the term 'terrorism' to stifle dissent. The chorus, with its repeated warnings of being watched and listed as a terrorist, reinforces the sense of paranoia and fear that comes with living under constant surveillance.

Elektroduendes also questions the effectiveness and sincerity of non-violent resistance with the line "la no violencia a quien pretenden engañar." This suggests a skepticism towards the idea that peaceful protest can bring about change in a system that is so deeply entrenched and oppressive. The song's overall message is a powerful critique of the ways in which modern societies use surveillance and the threat of labeling to maintain control and suppress opposition. It calls for awareness and resistance against these tactics, urging listeners to recognize the reality of their monitored lives and the importance of standing up against systemic oppression.
