Ruta Genocida (Undertale)

Kinox's 'Ruta Genocida (Undertale)' delves into the dark and violent themes inspired by the video game Undertale, specifically focusing on the Genocide Route. The song's lyrics are a chilling narrative from the perspective of a character who has chosen to follow this path, marked by the relentless killing of every creature in the game. The opening lines, 'Las manos llenas de polvo / Y esa sonrisa en tu rostro,' set a grim tone, highlighting the protagonist's bloodlust and the irony of being called a monster when their actions are far worse than those of the game's actual monsters.

The song questions the protagonist's motives, asking, 'Solamente dime ¿Cómo justificas tus acciones?' This line reflects the moral ambiguity and the lack of empathy that characterizes the Genocide Route. The protagonist's actions are driven by a desire for power and control, as seen in the lines, 'Estoy repleto de amor, no os salvaréis ninguno / Tengo determinación, vuestros esfuerzos son nulos.' This 'determination' is a direct reference to the game's mechanics, where the player's resolve to continue the genocide is a central theme.

Kinox also explores the emotional impact of these actions on other characters, particularly through the lines, 'Mataste a mi hermano y él solo quiso ayudarte / Él te abrió sus brazos y vilmente lo mataste.' This evokes a sense of betrayal and loss, emphasizing the protagonist's complete disregard for the lives they destroy. The recurring metaphor of 'Eres un lobo disfrazado de cabrito' underscores the deceptive nature of the protagonist, who initially appears innocent but reveals a monstrous true self. The song ultimately serves as a haunting reflection on the consequences of unchecked power and the darkness within human nature.
