Escaping a Dystopian Reality: The Urgent Call of 'No Pertenecemos'
In 'No Pertenecemos,' Jauria paints a vivid picture of a dystopian world where darkness and pollution dominate the landscape. The song opens with a night sky covered in darkness, symbolizing a sense of hopelessness and despair. The lyrics suggest a need for mutual care and protection, hinting at the dangers lurking in this bleak environment. The mention of 'polución a cielo abierto' (open-air pollution) underscores the environmental degradation and its lethal consequences, setting a grim tone for the narrative.
The chorus, 'Quiero escapar, irme contigo / De esta realidad, no merecemos / Debe ser que no pertenecemos aquí, ahí,' expresses a deep yearning to escape this harsh reality. The desire to leave with a loved one signifies a search for solace and safety away from the chaos. The repeated assertion that 'no pertenecemos aquí' (we don't belong here) highlights a profound sense of alienation and disconnection from the current world, suggesting that the characters feel out of place in this corrupted environment.
As the song progresses, the imagery of a city covered in fog and wolves hunting for fresh meat intensifies the sense of impending doom. The uncertainty of survival ('No puedo decirte si saldremos de esto a salvo') adds to the urgency of the situation, emphasizing the need for immediate action. Jauria's 'No Pertenecemos' serves as a powerful commentary on environmental destruction, societal decay, and the human desire to find a place where they truly belong, away from the chaos and danger of their current reality.
