REVOLUCION AZUL

Leo Rizzi's song "REVOLUCION AZUL" delves into the themes of disillusionment and the internal conflict that arises when one's ideals clash with reality. The song opens with a call to revolution, symbolized by the metaphor of loading a weapon against time, suggesting a fight against the constraints and pressures of life. The repeated phrase "Paren todo, manos arriba" (Stop everything, hands up) evokes a sense of urgency and confrontation, yet it is a revolution without the traditional enforcers of change, the police, indicating a more personal and internal struggle.

As the song progresses, the protagonist expresses a loss of faith in both the revolution and divine intervention. The lines "Perdí la fe en la revolución" (I lost faith in the revolution) and "Perdí la fe en pedir a Dios" (I lost faith in asking God) highlight a deep sense of disillusionment. The protagonist questions the purpose of fighting for a cause or seeking divine help when it leads to personal sacrifice and alienation from others. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the recurring question, "Si pido por ella, ¿dónde quedo yo?" (If I ask for her, where do I end up?) and "Si pido por mí, ¿dónde te quedas tú?" (If I ask for myself, where do you end up?), reflecting the struggle between self-interest and collective ideals.

The term "Revolución azul" (Blue revolution) itself is a poignant metaphor. Blue often symbolizes sadness, calm, and introspection, contrasting with the fiery passion typically associated with revolutions. This suggests that the protagonist's revolution is one of internal reflection and emotional turmoil rather than external change. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, acknowledging the absurdity of personal desires within the context of this blue revolution, encapsulating the protagonist's journey from hopeful idealism to a sobering realization of the complexities of life and change.
