Antisocial

Interterror's song 'Antisocial' delves into the life of a disillusioned worker who rejects societal norms and expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person trapped in a monotonous 9-to-5 job with a meager salary, symbolized by the 'plaza en la factoría fabricando ojos de cristal' (a position in the factory making glass eyes). This imagery suggests a sense of lifelessness and mechanical existence, where the worker's individuality and humanity are stifled by the demands of the job.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist undergoes a significant transformation. By night, they seek refuge in the metro, shedding their work uniform and embracing a new identity as an 'antisocial' being. This shift represents a rebellion against the oppressive structures of society and a refusal to conform to its expectations. The repeated declaration of 'antisocial' underscores the protagonist's newfound defiance and desire for autonomy.

The song also touches on the psychological impact of this transformation. The protagonist's appearance changes, and their mind begins to 'function,' indicating a reawakening of their true self. The lyrics 'se niega a someterse a nadie' (refuses to submit to anyone) and 'tiene ganas de matar' (has the urge to kill) highlight the intensity of their rejection of societal norms and the depth of their anger and frustration. 'Antisocial' by Interterror is a powerful anthem of rebellion, capturing the struggle for personal freedom and the rejection of a dehumanizing system.
