Su Ley

La Vela Puerca's song 'Su Ley' delves into themes of rebellion, disillusionment, and the quest for personal freedom. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an individual who decides to break away from societal norms and expectations. The opening lines, 'Se prendió el motor / Apoyó las manos / En la noche oscura / Que perdió su luna,' set the stage for a journey into the unknown, driven by a desire to escape the darkness and constraints of their current reality. The metaphor of the 'motor' igniting suggests a sudden and powerful decision to take control and move forward, despite the absence of guiding light ('la luna') in their life.

As the song progresses, the protagonist accelerates 'Raudo como el viento' and flees from everything, establishing 'La ley a su modo.' This line indicates a personal rebellion against the established order, creating their own rules in a world that feels unjust and cruel. The repeated imagery of pressing a button to activate an 'arsenal' of emotions and actions ('mil cosas por volar / Y muy pocas por reír') underscores the internal conflict and the weight of their decision. The button symbolizes a trigger for change, unleashing a torrent of feelings and potential consequences.

The chorus reflects a deep sense of disillusionment with the world ('En este mundo así / No quiere verse aquí') and a desire to hide one's cruelty and pain. The protagonist's wish to 'embellecer / Un paisaje digno / De arrojar / Al fuego' suggests a longing to transform their surroundings into something beautiful, even if it means destroying the old to make way for the new. The song's conclusion, with the motor shutting down ('Se apagó el motor'), implies a moment of rest or perhaps the end of the journey, leaving the listener to ponder the outcomes of such a bold escape.
