Carretera

The song "Carretera" by MORAD (M.D.L.R.) is a vivid portrayal of the artist's experiences and reflections on life's journey, particularly through the lens of someone who has faced adversity and the street life. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and cultural references that paint a picture of resilience and survival.

MORAD uses the motif of a car and the road to symbolize the journey through life, with its various challenges and obstacles. The mention of crossing borders and barriers could be a metaphor for overcoming personal struggles or societal limitations. The car, described as a 'hoguera' (bonfire), suggests a life that is intense and perhaps dangerous. The repeated line 'Lo que se te quita dudo que te vuelva' implies a sense of loss and the harsh reality that once something is gone, it's unlikely to return. This could refer to opportunities, relationships, or even innocence.

The song also touches on themes of authenticity and street credibility. MORAD contrasts himself with others who may pretend to be something they're not ('No eres rey de leone', 'porque solo ere' una gata'), emphasizing the importance of being genuine. The lyrics 'Aprendí a vivir con to' lo malo' suggest that the artist has learned to cope with the negative aspects of life and has become self-reliant ('aprendí a minar solo'). The song is a testament to the artist's resilience and ability to navigate through life's challenges without losing his sense of self.
