Relaciones Peligrosas

Gatillazo's song 'Relaciones Peligrosas' is a sharp critique of societal intolerance and the absurdity of guilt by association. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person being scrutinized and judged based on their indirect connections to others. The song opens with a scenario where the protagonist is seen with a distant acquaintance of a terrorist, highlighting how even the most tenuous links can lead to suspicion. This sets the stage for a broader commentary on how society often jumps to conclusions without substantial evidence, driven by anonymous informants and a culture of paranoia.

The song continues to build on this theme by describing another instance where the protagonist is seen near someone who once painted a political slogan on a wall. This further emphasizes the ridiculousness of the accusations and the lengths to which people will go to find guilt. The repeated phrase 'Aquello se olvido pero no se borro' (That was forgotten but not erased) underscores the idea that society's so-called tolerance is superficial and easily shattered by unfounded suspicions.

The climax of the song comes with the most absurd accusation: being near a poster that supports a relative. This hyperbolic scenario serves to mock the extreme measures taken to label someone as a criminal or a threat. The song concludes with a sarcastic declaration that the protagonist will now learn that the 'cool' thing is to be Spanish, highlighting the nationalistic undertones of such intolerance. Gatillazo uses irony and exaggeration to expose the flaws in societal attitudes towards guilt, association, and identity, making 'Relaciones Peligrosas' a powerful critique of modern-day witch hunts and the dangers of unfounded accusations.
