Adentro

Gustavo Cordera's song "Adentro" delves into the profound realization that external pursuits and societal constructs often lead to disillusionment. The opening lines, "Dejamos de correr / El rally terminó / Y cuando me enteré / Vi que nadie ganó," set the stage for a reflection on the futility of constant striving and competition. The rally, a metaphor for life's relentless race, ends with no clear winner, highlighting the emptiness of such endeavors.

As the song progresses, Cordera contrasts the past and present, noting how fear has dismantled what once seemed stable: "Hoy, nada es como ayer / El miedo asustó / Y ya no hay nada qué hacer / Todo se derrumbó." This collapse of perceived truths and structures leads to a deeper introspection. The chorus, "Y ahora veo más adentro desde mi cueva / Que todo lo que aprendí en la escuela / De los maestros del terror," suggests a retreat into oneself, away from the external teachings and influences that have proven unreliable.

Cordera further critiques societal norms and the power dynamics that govern them. He observes that long-held truths are now being questioned, and those who once oppressed are losing their grip: "Hoy las verdades más sostenidas / Caen de espaldas, manos arriba / Los miserables ya no nos quitan / Y los que dan, regalan comida." The song ultimately advocates for an inward journey, where true understanding and contentment reside, free from political and social labels: "Ni izquierdas, ni derechas, ni centros / El único lugar, la única verdad está adentro." This inward focus is not just a retreat but a powerful statement about finding authenticity and meaning within oneself.
