Pensamientos
MORAD (M.D.L.R.)
The Struggles and Realities of Street Life in 'Pensamientos' by MORAD
MORAD's song 'Pensamientos' delves into the harsh realities and struggles of street life, particularly focusing on the illegal business and the mental toll it takes on those involved. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where silence is valued over speaking out, and where illegal activities are a means of survival rather than a choice made for pleasure. MORAD emphasizes that the desire to have more than what one could ever dream of or what is considered normal in one's pocket drives people into these dangerous paths.
The song also touches on the psychological impact of living such a life. MORAD criticizes those who boast about their toughness and possession of weapons, suggesting that such bravado often masks deeper mental issues. He highlights the fatal consequences of this lifestyle, where ending up in prison or dead is a common outcome. The repetition of the lines about ending up buried or incarcerated underscores the inevitability and frequency of these outcomes in the world he describes.
Furthermore, MORAD reflects on regret and the passage of time. He mentions individuals who have committed violent acts and later regretted them, showing that the initial bravado often gives way to remorse. The reference to 'M.D.L.R.' (Mec De La Rue, or 'guy from the street') throughout the song serves as a reminder of the artist's connection to the street and the authenticity of his message. MORAD's lyrics are a raw and unfiltered commentary on the struggles, regrets, and harsh realities faced by those living in the margins of society.
