La Batalla

Enjambre's song 'La Batalla' delves into the timeless conflict between modernity and tradition, individuality and societal norms. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a battlefield where principles and ends clash, symbolizing the internal and external struggles we face in our quest for identity. The phrase 'He peleado guerras contra principios y fines' (I have fought wars against principles and ends) suggests a personal journey through the complexities of reality, seeking new corners and confines to redefine oneself. This search for a 'nueva identidad' (new identity) highlights the ongoing battle within us to reconcile who we are with who we want to be.

The song also touches on the loss and sacrifices made in the name of modernity. 'He perdido a gente en ciudades por rituales de modernidad' (I have lost people in cities due to rituals of modernity) speaks to the alienation and disconnection that can come with the fast-paced, ever-changing world we live in. The 'doctrina de hoy' (doctrine of today) dictating what is right and wrong underscores the pressure to conform to societal expectations, often at the expense of personal values and relationships.

In the chorus, the imagery of 'el campo de batalla' (the battlefield) where 'moda y pensamiento' (fashion and thought) meet encapsulates the tension between superficial trends and deeper, more meaningful reflections. The repeated lines 'somos tiempo detonado' (we are detonated time) and 'somos templos palpitando' (we are pulsing temples) evoke a sense of urgency and vitality, emphasizing the human spirit's resilience and capacity for change. The song's refrain, 'la batalla' (the battle), serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle to find balance and authenticity in a world that is constantly evolving.
