Dicen

Los Bunkers' song 'Dicen' delves into themes of sadness, disillusionment, and existential questioning. The lyrics open with the protagonist acknowledging that others perceive them as perpetually sad. This sets the tone for a song steeped in melancholy and introspection. The line 'Me gustaría pensar que todo cambiará' (I would like to think that everything will change) suggests a glimmer of hope, but it is quickly overshadowed by the realization that 'la verdad ya no saldrá' (the truth will no longer come out), especially 'Menos aquí' (less here). This phrase, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes a sense of hopelessness and stagnation in the current environment.

The song continues to explore the theme of disillusionment with love and life. The protagonist reflects on the idea that 'los amores no existen' (loves do not exist) and that they live in a state of illusion. The imagery of 'Mirando fijo al sol, faltos de ilusión' (Staring fixedly at the sun, lacking illusion) paints a picture of someone searching for meaning and warmth but finding none. This sense of emptiness is further highlighted by the repetition of 'Menos aquí,' reinforcing the idea that the current circumstances are particularly bleak.

In the final verse, the song critiques the limitations imposed by societal norms and the lack of genuine emotional expression. The 'miserable razón' (miserable reason) and 'pobre corazón' (poor heart) suggest a world where people are constrained by their own narrow-mindedness and emotional poverty. The absence of a 'canción para cantar' (song to sing) symbolizes a lack of joy and inspiration. The repeated refrain 'Menos aquí' serves as a poignant reminder of the pervasive sense of despair and the difficulty of finding solace or change in the present situation.
