La Música Está Enferma

Los EstÓmagos Los EstÓmagos

The Ailing State of Music and Society

Los EstÓmagos' song "La Música Está Enferma" delves into the disillusionment and frustration with the current state of music and, by extension, society. The lyrics express a sense of confusion and dissatisfaction, as the narrator questions the direction in which things are heading. The repeated phrase "La música está enferma" ("The music is sick") serves as a powerful metaphor for the perceived decline in quality and authenticity in music. This sentiment is mirrored in the broader societal context, suggesting that both music and society are suffering from a lack of genuine direction and purpose.

The song's lyrics also touch on the idea of being misled or poorly guided, as indicated by the lines "Mal dirigidos / Sistema normal" ("Poorly directed / Normal system"). This critique extends beyond music to encompass societal structures and norms that fail to inspire or motivate. The narrator's apathy is evident in lines like "He escuchado muchas cosas / De nada me dan ganas" ("I've heard many things / None of them make me want to do anything"), highlighting a pervasive sense of disillusionment and a lack of compelling voices or ideas.

To remedy this malaise, the song suggests a radical approach: breaking down the existing structures to rebuild something more authentic and meaningful. The line "Para recuperarla hay que volverla a romper" ("To recover it, we have to break it again") encapsulates this revolutionary spirit. It implies that true recovery and progress can only be achieved through a complete overhaul, rather than minor adjustments. This call to action resonates with anyone feeling trapped in a system that no longer serves its intended purpose, whether in music or in life.
