Entregá El Maron

Los Auténticos Decadentes, a renowned Argentine band known for their eclectic mix of rock, ska, and cumbia, bring a satirical edge to their song 'Entregá El Maron.' The lyrics delve into the overwhelming influence of media and societal pressures, particularly focusing on the obsession with physical appearance and materialism. The phrase 'Entregá el marrón' can be interpreted as a call to surrender or give up something, possibly symbolizing the superficial values that society imposes on individuals.

The song opens with a commentary on the pervasive presence of idealized images in television and magazines, which cater to all tastes but ultimately cloud one's vision. This metaphorical blindness represents how people become consumed by these unattainable standards, leading to increased stress and even health issues, as indicated by the rise in heart attacks. The protagonist's use of 'lente' negro' (black glasses) suggests a desire to shield oneself from the overwhelming and frightening reality of these societal expectations.

As the chorus repeats the demand to 'Entregá el marrón,' it emphasizes the urgency and frustration felt by the protagonist. The lyrics express a longing to understand when this torturous trend will end, highlighting the mental exhaustion caused by constant exposure to these ideals. The song critiques how these societal pressures provoke individuals, pushing them to their limits. The repeated plea to 'entregálo de una vez' (give it up once and for all) underscores the desire for liberation from these oppressive standards, advocating for a return to more genuine and attainable values.
