Nadie Es Inocente
Eskorbuto
The Unyielding Cry Against Oppression
Eskorbuto's song "Nadie Es Inocente" is a raw and powerful critique of societal and political structures. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where chaos reigns, and the lines between right and wrong are blurred. The opening lines, "Los rifles silvan desafinados / La canción de muerte que han creado," set a grim tone, suggesting a society where violence and death are commonplace, and even the instruments of war are out of tune, symbolizing a world in disarray.
The song delves into the futility of political divisions, as seen in the lines, "Los de derechas se tropiezan / Con los de izquierdas y viceversa." This highlights the cyclical nature of political conflict, where neither side can claim moral superiority. Eskorbuto's disdain for the law and the financial system is evident in the repeated lines, "Estamos insultando a la ley / Y estamos en su truco al dinero," portraying a sense of entrapment and disillusionment with the mechanisms of power and control.
The chorus, "Nadie es inocente, todos terroristas," is a stark declaration that in a corrupt system, no one can claim innocence. This line challenges the listener to reflect on their own complicity within a flawed society. Eskorbuto, known for their punk rock ethos, uses this song to channel their frustration and anger towards a system they view as cowardly and oppressive. The repeated chants of "¡oi! ¡oi! ¡oi!" serve as a rallying cry for resistance and rebellion, encapsulating the band's defiant spirit.
