Blasfemias

Masacre's song "Blasfemias" is a powerful critique of religious hypocrisy and the societal decay that surrounds us. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of individuals who, while outwardly devout and pious, harbor deep-seated hatred and pain. This duality is encapsulated in the line, "Ocultando tu odio con dolor, Hipocresía de tu fe," which translates to "Hiding your hatred with pain, Hypocrisy of your faith." The song suggests that the outward displays of faith are often a mask for inner turmoil and deceit.

The song also delves into the broader societal issues, portraying a world rife with suffering and corruption. The imagery of "ancianos olvidados, niños programados" (forgotten elders, programmed children) and "mujeres prostituídas, hombres en la guerra" (prostituted women, men at war) highlights the widespread neglect and exploitation present in society. The environmental degradation is also starkly depicted with phrases like "tierra encementada, bosques talados, agua contaminada" (cemented land, felled forests, contaminated water), painting a grim picture of a world in decline.

The final verses of the song bring a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the lyrics speak of a humanity that has failed to achieve better days. The line "La esperanza de días mejores ha fracasado" (The hope for better days has failed) underscores the futility of seeking solace in a hypocritical faith while the world crumbles around us. Masacre's "Blasfemias" is a raw and unflinching look at the contradictions and failures of both religion and society, urging listeners to confront these harsh realities.
