Salimos De Aquí

Fiel A La Vega's song "Salimos De Aquí" is a powerful exploration of identity, struggle, and resilience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of emerging from various forms of confinement and hardship, symbolized by the 'grieta' or crack from which they emerge. This crack could represent societal, political, or personal struggles that the people have faced. The mention of 'dando vueltas en la cama' (tossing and turning in bed) suggests a restless state, possibly due to the ongoing challenges and uncertainties they face.

The song continues to describe emerging from a 'pedazo de cielo que pudre las manzanas' (a piece of sky that rots the apples), which could be a metaphor for a seemingly beautiful but ultimately corrupt environment. This line highlights the disillusionment with what was once perceived as good or pure. The references to 'el baile, la botella y la baraja' (the dance, the bottle, and the deck of cards) suggest a culture of escapism and distraction, where people turn to temporary pleasures to cope with their realities.

Further, the song delves into the roots of their identity, mentioning places like 'el Yunque y de los ríos' (the Yunque and the rivers) and 'el Combate y del picadillo' (the Combate and the minced meat). These references ground the narrative in specific cultural and geographical contexts, emphasizing a deep connection to their homeland. The critique of 'el fanatismo a los partidos y a la iglesia y al bolsillo' (the fanaticism to political parties, the church, and the pocket) underscores a rejection of blind allegiance to institutions that may exploit or mislead. Through these lyrics, Fiel A La Vega calls for a collective awakening and a return to authentic values and self-awareness.
