Anti- todo

Eskorbuto's song 'Anti-todo' is a raw and unfiltered critique of societal corruption and the futility of traditional forms of protest. The lyrics begin with a stark observation that corruption starts from birth, suggesting that societal systems are inherently flawed and designed to subjugate individuals from the very beginning. This theme of inherent corruption is a powerful indictment of the structures that govern our lives, implying that they are beyond reform and fundamentally oppressive.

The song also delves into the divisive nature of society, where people are pitted against each other in a 'lucha necia' or foolish struggle. The lines 'No hay amigos, ni enemigos' (There are no friends, nor enemies) highlight the isolation and alienation that pervade modern life. This sentiment is further emphasized by the observation that those who work forget about the unemployed, and the free forget about the imprisoned. This division and lack of solidarity among people serve to maintain the status quo, making collective action difficult.

Eskorbuto questions the effectiveness of traditional forms of protest like demonstrations and general strikes, labeling them as useless ('¿De qué nos sirven? ¡No sirven!'). This reflects a deep disillusionment with conventional methods of resistance, suggesting that they do not bring about meaningful change. The repeated assertion that 'somos anti todo' (we are against everything) encapsulates a total rejection of the existing social and political order. The song is a call to recognize the pervasive corruption and to reject the systems that perpetuate it, advocating for a more radical form of resistance.
