FREEBARS #1
Matías Fisher
A Raw Critique of Falsehood and Betrayal
Matías Fisher's song "FREEBARS #1" is a raw and unfiltered critique of individuals who live inauthentic lives, relying on the wealth and status provided by their families rather than their own efforts. The song opens with a direct call-out to someone who pretends to be a self-made success but is actually dependent on their father's money. Fisher uses the metaphor of a car given by a father to highlight the facade of independence and success that this person tries to project. The reference to Toretto, a character from the Fast & Furious franchise known for his street credibility and driving skills, further emphasizes the contrast between genuine and fake personas.
The lyrics delve deeper into the subject's lack of respect within their community and their misguided attempts to appear tough by abusing substances like Percocet. Fisher paints a picture of someone who is not only lost and disrespected but also financially irresponsible and disconnected from reality. The song criticizes this person's failed business ventures and their tendency to betray friends, leaving them in dire straits. Fisher contrasts his own success, achieved through hard work and initiative, with the subject's hollow achievements and reliance on family wealth.
Throughout the song, Fisher addresses themes of betrayal, falsehood, and the consequences of living a life based on lies. He highlights the importance of authenticity and the inevitable downfall of those who deceive others and themselves. The song's tone is confrontational and unapologetic, reflecting Fisher's disdain for those who lack integrity and genuine effort. The repeated references to the subject being "quebra'o" (broken) underscore the idea that their facade is crumbling, and they are left with nothing but their own failures. Fisher's message is clear: true success comes from hard work and authenticity, not from pretending to be something you're not.
