Tres Paredes

Massacre's song 'Tres Paredes' delves into the complex themes of identity, reality, and the search for meaning. The lyrics paint a picture of someone grappling with their sense of self and the elusive nature of truth. The opening lines, 'Hallaste el tiempo o la forma de creártelo,' suggest a struggle to find or create time, hinting at the pressures and constraints that life imposes. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the internal conflict between dreams and reality, as the protagonist battles to see the truth obscured by the 'sol que sale,' or the rising sun.

The recurring motif of 'tres muros de placebo'—three walls of placebo—symbolizes barriers that are both protective and deceptive. These walls may represent coping mechanisms or false comforts that prevent the protagonist from confronting their true self and the pain that 'no se va,' or never goes away. The plea to God, 'Dios por favor no me cegués,' underscores a desperate need for clarity and guidance, as the protagonist promises their children to a higher power in exchange for enlightenment. This moment of vulnerability reveals a deep yearning for a 'sana luz,' a healing light, to illuminate their path.

The song's climax revolves around the search for a defining signal, 'encontrando una señal me podrías definir,' which encapsulates the quest for identity and purpose. The protagonist's plea, 'decime quién soy,' is a poignant cry for understanding and self-discovery. Massacre's evocative lyrics and haunting melodies create a powerful narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world or struggled to reconcile their inner turmoil with external realities.
