Me Echaron de Casa (soy Un Mal Polvo)
Flema
Rebellion and Rejection: The Anthem of a Misfit
Flema's song "Me Echaron de Casa (soy Un Mal Polvo)" is a raw and unapologetic expression of rebellion and societal rejection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is cast out of their home for a myriad of reasons, all of which highlight their nonconformity and disdain for societal norms. The repeated phrase "me echaron de casa" (they kicked me out of the house) serves as a powerful refrain, emphasizing the protagonist's sense of alienation and defiance.
The song delves into various aspects of the protagonist's life that lead to their expulsion. They are criticized for not working, not studying, sleeping too much, drinking excessively, and enjoying the streets. These behaviors are often stigmatized in society, and the protagonist's refusal to conform to these expectations results in their rejection. The line "Yo no pedi nacer!!!" (I didn't ask to be born) is a poignant declaration of the protagonist's frustration and existential angst, highlighting their sense of being unfairly judged and misunderstood.
Furthermore, the song touches on deeper themes of freedom of expression and anti-establishment sentiments. The protagonist is also kicked out for speaking their mind, hating the church, and living in anarchy. These lines reflect a broader critique of societal institutions and the pressure to conform to their rules. Flema, known for their punk rock style, uses this song to channel the spirit of rebellion and nonconformity that is central to the punk ethos. The raw, unfiltered lyrics and aggressive tone capture the essence of a misfit who refuses to be silenced or molded by societal expectations.
