La Ciencia de La Autodestruccion

The song 'La Ciencia de La Autodestruccion' by La Pestilencia is a stark commentary on the dangers of nuclear warfare and the potential for human self-destruction. The title itself, which translates to 'The Science of Self-Destruction,' sets the tone for a critical examination of humanity's advancements in technology, particularly those that have the capacity to annihilate us.

The lyrics speak of 'intelligent men, great thinkers' who have created a 'monster' in the form of radioactive and nuclear bombs. This creation is seen as a catalyst for the potential end of humanity, a self-inflicted apocalypse that is beyond redemption. The song references the inability to 'start over' and draws a grim parallel to the biblical creation story, suggesting that unlike the universe which was created in seven days, the destruction we face will leave no room for a new beginning.

The band urges all races and nations to take action against the monopolizing powers that perpetuate this threat. The song is a call to arms for both developed and developing countries to not remain passive but to actively work to prevent this catastrophic future. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world hanging by the thread of a button's push and the decision of a 'bastard idealist,' likely referring to political leaders with the power to launch nuclear weapons. The song concludes with a critique of scientific inventions that, instead of liberating us from ignorance and degrading labor, have only refined our servitude and brought us closer to the brink of destruction.
