He Decidido Comportarme

In 'He Decidido Comportarme,' Ilegales delve into the internal conflict of conforming to societal expectations. The song's protagonist expresses a reluctant decision to behave according to social norms, despite their disdain for the superficiality and absurdity they perceive around them. The opening lines, 'He decidido comportarme, sonreir a los idiotas,' set the tone for this struggle, highlighting the protagonist's frustration with having to smile at people they consider foolish. This sentiment is further emphasized with the line 'recibir a las visitas casi sin anestesiarme,' suggesting that social interactions are almost painful for them.

The recurring phrase 'Estoy decidido a mongolizarme' is a powerful metaphor for the protagonist's sense of losing their individuality and intelligence in the process of conforming.

They resolve to 'callarme las verdades' and 'morderé mi propia lengua hasta que brote la sangre,' illustrating the painful suppression of their true thoughts and feelings. The imagery of biting one's tongue until it bleeds is a vivid representation of the self-inflicted harm that comes with silencing oneself. The song concludes with the protagonist's determination to 'controlar mis intestinos, ignorar mis apetitos y aguantar hasta a tu madre,' further emphasizing the extent to which they must suppress their natural instincts and desires to fit in. Through 'He Decidido Comportarme,' Ilegales offer a raw and unfiltered commentary on the personal sacrifices and internal turmoil that come with societal conformity.
