Tengo Captura

Massacre's song 'Tengo Captura' delves into the themes of unintended consequences and the burden of guilt. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a chaotic and desperate situation where the protagonist finds themselves on the run after a series of unfortunate events. The breaking of the mirror symbolizes a shattered reality, a moment where everything changes, and the protagonist must now hide from the world's judgment. This metaphorical mirror reflects the sudden shift from normalcy to a life of evasion and fear.

The repeated phrase 'No era nuestra intención bardear' (It was not our intention to mess around) underscores the accidental nature of their predicament. The protagonist and their partner did not set out to cause harm, yet they find themselves entangled in a serious crime, specifically the killing of a police officer. This unintended act of violence forces them to flee, highlighting the theme of escape and the lengths one will go to avoid capture. The urgency in the lyrics, such as 'Nena, que hagas el bolso' (Baby, pack your bag), emphasizes the immediacy of their need to disappear.

The song also touches on the idea of legacy and how society remembers those who fall from grace. The mention of a statue being erected in the protagonist's honor suggests a twisted form of recognition, one that immortalizes their actions but also traps them in a state of perpetual scrutiny. The protagonist's journey from being hunted ('Perros vienen tras de mí') to being a distant memory ('Aparecí a mil kilómetros de casa') reflects the duality of being both a fugitive and a legend. This duality is further emphasized by the line 'Hay quien dice que perdí' (There are those who say I lost), indicating that despite their escape, the protagonist is still seen as a tragic figure.
