Ven y ve

La Polla Records' song "Ven y ve" delves into the disillusionment and harsh realities faced by those who seek freedom by crossing from East to West, particularly referencing the Berlin Wall. The lyrics invite the listener to jump over the Berlin Wall, a powerful symbol of division during the Cold War, and experience the so-called 'free world.' However, the song quickly reveals the disillusionment that awaits, as the promised freedom is nothing but a facade.

The lyrics highlight the fatigue and weariness of those who have struggled to escape oppressive regimes, only to find that the 'paradise' they sought is fraught with its own set of problems. The line "La verdad yo no sé a qué vienes" (The truth is, I don't know why you're coming) underscores the futility of seeking refuge in the West, where the reality is far from the idealized vision. The song suggests that the Berlin Wall, and by extension, the ideological divide it represents, is a lie, and that true freedom is elusive no matter which side one is on.

The repeated calls to "¡Escapa!" (Escape!) serve as a poignant reminder that there is no true sanctuary, as the West also brings its own form of disappointment and disillusionment. The song's message is clear: the grass is not always greener on the other side, and the quest for freedom and a better life is fraught with challenges and disillusionment. La Polla Records uses this song to critique both Eastern and Western societies, emphasizing that the search for true freedom and happiness is a complex and often disappointing journey.
