Desplazados

La Pestilencia's song "Desplazados" delves into the harrowing experiences of displaced individuals, shedding light on the brutal realities faced by those forced to leave their homes. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a supposed routine search that quickly turns into a scene of injustice and violence. The phrase "Supuesta requiza normal" suggests a facade of normalcy, masking the underlying brutality. The plea for justice, "haremos justicia por tu silencio," highlights the complicity of silence in perpetuating these injustices.

The song then shifts to a more personal narrative, describing the desperate pleas of families caught in the crossfire. The lines "Salieron sus esposas e hijos, No disparen señores" evoke a sense of urgency and helplessness. These families, who are merely working the land and harvesting coffee, are innocent victims of a larger conflict. The repeated plea, "Ellos son inocentes, No se los lleven señores," underscores the innocence of these individuals and the senselessness of their suffering.

The final verses of the song address the broader implications of displacement. The lyrics, "Ellos huyen de sus fincas para una mejor vida, Las ciudades sin remedios aniquilan sueños," reflect the futile search for a better life. The cities, which should offer refuge and opportunities, instead destroy dreams with their own forms of violence and chaos. The imagery of "bombas y truenos" serves as a stark reminder of the constant threat of violence that looms over the displaced, making their quest for safety and stability an ongoing struggle.
