Corre, Corre

Leno's song 'Corre, Corre' is a vivid portrayal of rebellion and the struggle against societal expectations. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been marked as different from a young age, someone who refuses to conform to the predetermined path laid out for them. The repeated phrase 'Corre, corre' (Run, run) serves as both a literal and metaphorical call to escape the constraints imposed by society. This sense of urgency and the need to flee from an oppressive system is a central theme throughout the song.

The song delves into the protagonist's early defiance, highlighted by the line 'Y tu desde muy crío te saliste del renglón' (And you, from a very young age, stepped out of line). This suggests a lifelong resistance to fitting into the mold that society has created. The mention of making 'la primera comunión en los billares' (the first communion in the pool halls) is a striking metaphor for rejecting traditional rites of passage and finding one's own path in unconventional places. This act of rebellion is not just a personal choice but a statement against the societal norms that dictate how one should live.

The song also touches on the idea of being pursued and the constant threat of being caught, as seen in the lines 'Eres un fugitivo y nada vale tu opinión' (You are a fugitive and your opinion is worthless) and 'Que te van a echar el guante' (They are going to catch you). This creates a sense of paranoia and urgency, emphasizing the high stakes of living a life that defies societal expectations. The reference to 'El diablo es nuestro amigo' (The devil is our friend) further underscores the idea of aligning with forces that are traditionally seen as rebellious or countercultural. In essence, 'Corre, Corre' is a powerful anthem for those who dare to live authentically, even in the face of relentless pressure to conform.
