Criticar Por Criticar

Fangoria's song "Criticar Por Criticar" delves into the destructive nature of baseless criticism and the emptiness it brings to one's life. The lyrics open with a powerful metaphor, comparing envy to a dagger, highlighting how harmful and malicious envy can be. The song suggests that such negativity often backfires, implying that those who engage in it will eventually face the consequences of their actions. This sets the tone for a reflection on the futility and harm of spreading lies and negativity.

The chorus emphasizes the waste of talent and time that comes with criticizing others without reason. The singer admits to spreading lies and disguising the truth, acknowledging that this behavior is not only unproductive but also damaging to oneself. The repetition of the phrase "Estoy perdiendo un tiempo que no voy a recobrar" (I'm losing time that I won't get back) underscores the regret and realization that life is too short to be spent on such negative pursuits. This self-awareness adds depth to the song, making it a poignant commentary on the consequences of living a life filled with baseless criticism.

The song also touches on the desire for attention and recognition, as seen in the lines "Yo soy la santa inquisición, Solo llamo la atención" (I am the holy inquisition, I only call for attention). This suggests that the need to criticize others often stems from a place of insecurity and a desire to be noticed. However, the singer ultimately realizes that this path leads to a hollow existence, as indicated by the repeated line "Parece que mi vida... no da para más" (It seems that my life... doesn't offer more). Fangoria's "Criticar Por Criticar" serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of focusing on positive and meaningful pursuits rather than wasting time on negativity and baseless criticism.
