Degeneración
Flema
Rebellion Against Societal Hypocrisy in 'Degeneración'
The song 'Degeneración' by Flema is a raw and powerful critique of societal norms and the hypocrisy that the band perceives within them. The lyrics express a deep sense of disillusionment with the state and societal structures, which are seen as deceitful and morally corrupt. The phrase 'La semilla de maldad, floreció en tu sociedad' (The seed of evil, flourished in your society) sets the tone for the song, suggesting that the roots of societal issues are deeply embedded and have grown over time.
Flema's lyrics convey a strong message of non-conformity and rebellion. The repeated declaration 'A la mierda con tu hipocresía, yo no formo parte de tu show' (To hell with your hypocrisy, I am not part of your show) underscores the band's refusal to be complicit in what they see as a morally bankrupt system. This sentiment is further emphasized by the chorus '¡Degeneración!' which can be interpreted as a call to reject the degeneration of societal values and norms.
The song also touches on the theme of indoctrination and the loss of individuality, as seen in the lines 'Robotizados de chicos, esclavos de la moral' (Robotized as kids, slaves to morality). This suggests that from a young age, individuals are conditioned to conform to societal expectations, which stifles personal freedom and critical thinking. Flema's punk rock style, known for its rebellious and anti-establishment themes, is evident in this song, making 'Degeneración' a powerful anthem for those who feel alienated by mainstream societal values.
