Ya Que

Guillotina's song 'Ya Que' delves into themes of powerlessness, disillusionment, and the cyclical nature of struggle. The opening lines, 'No tenemos que perder. Nada es nuestro. Todo esta en su poder,' set a tone of resignation and helplessness. The lyrics suggest that nothing truly belongs to the individual, as everything is controlled by an external power. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line, 'Vivir callando a los demás es fácil cuando no tienes que decir,' which implies that silence is a form of complicity, especially when one has nothing meaningful to contribute or is too oppressed to speak out.

The song continues to explore the idea of unconscious struggle and loss of control with the lines, 'Luchamos sin darnos cuenta y perdemos el control.' This suggests a sense of fighting without purpose or awareness, leading to inevitable defeat. The imagery of watching the 'restos de nuestra decepción' as a form of 'diversión' is particularly striking, as it portrays a society that finds a twisted sense of entertainment in its own failures and disappointments.

The lyrics also touch on the desensitization to death and suffering, 'Las muertes nos hacen reír, nuestras vidas sólo causan dolor.' This stark contrast between the trivialization of death and the pain of living highlights a deep-seated nihilism. The notion that 'El tiempo se ha estancado, nos ha burlado' suggests a stagnation of time and progress, reinforcing the idea that everything remains the same despite the ongoing struggle. The repetition of the chorus underscores the cyclical nature of this disillusionment, making 'Ya Que' a poignant commentary on the futility and repetitive nature of human struggle and suffering.
