The Judge: A Reflection on Authority and Experience

In 'El Juez,' Locattis delves into the complexities of authority, experience, and societal norms. The song opens with a provocative statement: 'Saber te perjudica. Probar lo simplifica.' This suggests that knowledge can sometimes be a burden, while direct experience simplifies understanding. The lyrics question where experience fits into one's life, hinting at a possible disconnection or forgetfulness about its importance. This sets the stage for a broader critique of societal attitudes towards learning and authority.

The chorus advises against listening to naysayers ('No escuches a los contras') and promotes taking risks ('Jugársela es la onda'). This rebellious spirit is framed within the context of a judge who dictates what is 'natural.' The judge here symbolizes an authority figure who enforces societal norms, yet the lyrics suggest a certain irony or critique of this role. The judge's decisions are portrayed as both a relief and a source of persecution, highlighting the dual nature of authority as both a guide and a constraint.

The song pays homage to 'Juez zaffaroni y su doctrina,' likely referring to a real or symbolic figure who embodies a particular judicial philosophy. This judge is credited with alleviating the path for more open-minded individuals, yet also criticized for the ongoing persecution they face. The lyrics suggest that this persecution is a destined struggle, one that aims to 'pacificar nuestra alma enferma'—to pacify our sick souls. This could be interpreted as a call for societal healing through more enlightened and compassionate judicial practices.
