Buscando Razón

Hermetica's 'Buscando Razón' is a song that delves into the theme of authenticity in the music industry, particularly targeting artists who change their musical styles to follow trends. The lyrics express a disdain for insincerity and a call for genuine expression through music.

The song begins with the narrator searching for a reason not to despise a certain type of musician. This musician is criticized for hopping from one genre to another, including jazz-rock, reggae, pop, and new-wave, in an attempt to stay current and popular. The term 'veleta de la moda' (weathervane of fashion) suggests that this musician changes direction with the prevailing trends, lacking a true artistic core. The reference to V8, an influential Argentine heavy metal band, indicates a contrast between what the narrator sees as true, uncompromising music and the fickle nature of the artist in question.

The repeated lines 'Buscando razón que me impida despreciarte' (Searching for a reason not to despise you) and 'nació esta canción que tal vez pueda alcanzarte' (this song was born that perhaps can reach you) highlight the narrator's hope that the song will serve as a wake-up call to the artist, urging them to find and stick to their genuine musical identity rather than conforming to whatever is currently in vogue. Hermetica, known for their heavy metal style and straightforward lyrics, uses this song to champion authenticity and criticize those who sacrifice their artistic integrity for commercial success.
