Rock n Roll hasta el amanecer
La 25
The Eternal Chase: Rock n Roll Until Dawn
La 25's song "Rock n Roll hasta el amanecer" is a vivid portrayal of a life lived on the edge, driven by the relentless spirit of rock and roll. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who is constantly on the run, both physically and metaphorically. The opening lines suggest a life filled with memories and untold stories, hinting at a past that is both rich and tumultuous. The imagery of running with a red flag in hand symbolizes rebellion and urgency, setting the tone for the rest of the song.
The protagonist is depicted as a fugitive, escaping from a crime they didn't commit. This narrative of evasion and survival is a metaphor for the struggles and failures that come with a life dedicated to rock and roll. The act of vomiting into a glass what failure has left behind is a raw and visceral image, representing the emotional and physical toll of this lifestyle. Despite these hardships, there is a fleeting sense of reality and clarity that comes with living on the edge.
The chorus emphasizes the cyclical nature of this existence, where every day is a new beginning filled with nervous energy and heightened senses. The line "acá todos saben que el rocanrol es así" (everyone here knows that rock and roll is like this) underscores the acceptance of this chaotic lifestyle within the rock and roll community. The protagonist's journey is one of constant motion, unable to settle down or escape the pull of rock and roll. The song concludes with a defiant declaration to continue this way of life until dawn, embracing the freedom and exhilaration that comes with it, despite the inevitable challenges.
