The Existential Escape: A Dive into Fiskales Ad-Hok's 'Fuga'
Fiskales Ad-Hok's song 'Fuga' delves deep into the existential angst and disillusionment with societal norms. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where superficial interactions and societal expectations overshadow genuine human connection and self-awareness. The opening lines, 'Mientras más ajeno al mundo mejor,' suggest a desire to detach from the world's absurdities and mental illnesses. This detachment is further emphasized by the critique of societal hypocrisy, where people greet each other kindly but condemn one another behind their backs.
The song's chorus, 'Lo que tú llamas morir es solo terminar de morir,' reflects a nihilistic view of life and death. It suggests that life is a continuous process of dying, where birth is merely the beginning of this inevitable decline. The repetition of 'morir' (to die) underscores the futility and pretense of living a life dictated by societal norms. The lyrics challenge the listener to question the authenticity of their existence, urging them to break free from the cycle of 'morir viviendo siempre fingiendo' (dying while always pretending).
In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift focus to self-awareness and personal responsibility. The lines 'No crees que vives demasiado preocupado de los demás' criticize the tendency to prioritize others' opinions over one's own feelings and desires. The song encourages listeners to stop criticizing others and start understanding themselves. The final lines, 'Facilitas las cosas para que te aplasten,' highlight the self-destructive nature of conforming to societal pressures. The repeated call to 'reír' (laugh) serves as a reminder to find joy and authenticity in life, despite its inherent absurdities.
