La policia

Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas' song 'La policia' is a powerful anthem of rebellion and resistance against oppressive authority. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who feels constantly pursued and scrutinized by the police. The opening lines, 'Verme salir corriendo es su ambición / quieren saber mi marca de ropa interior,' suggest an invasive and obsessive interest in the protagonist's personal life, symbolizing a broader societal intrusion into individual freedoms.

The song delves deeper into the tension between the protagonist and the police, highlighting the disdain and mistrust that exists on both sides. The lines 'miran muy mal a mi chica / y a mis amigos también' and 'Debe irritarles mi pinta / no suelen tratarme bien' reflect a sense of alienation and discrimination based on appearance and associations. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated refrain, 'Y aún quieren de mí que les quiera,' which underscores the absurdity of expecting affection or respect from someone who feels oppressed and misunderstood.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the protagonist views the police as a force that seeks to control and dominate, rather than protect and serve. The lyrics 'quieren confiscarme el alma por ordenador / más por ignorancia que mala intención' suggest a dehumanizing and bureaucratic approach to law enforcement. The climax of the song, with the lines 'oigo sirenas sonar / echan abajo la puerta / alguien me viene a buscar,' conveys a sense of imminent danger and the constant threat of violence. Through 'La policia,' Loquillo Y Los Trogloditas capture the essence of resistance against an oppressive system, making it a resonant and timeless piece.
