Maldición

Once Tiros' song 'Maldición' delves into the internal and external conflicts faced by an individual striving for authenticity in a world filled with superficiality and misunderstanding. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped in a monotonous cycle, symbolized by the repetitive act of sitting in front of the television. This imagery suggests a sense of stagnation and a longing for change, as the protagonist describes their natural state as a 'mutation,' indicating a constant state of flux and transformation that is dangerous for those who try to latch onto them.

The song also explores themes of deception and disillusionment. The protagonist admits to lying about everything and losing track of what will happen next, highlighting a sense of unpredictability and chaos in their life. The line 'Hoy llevé mi cabeza a volar' (Today I took my head to fly) suggests a desire to escape reality and find solace in their thoughts, away from the constraints of societal expectations. The repeated plea for more—'Más, más, más'—emphasizes a yearning for something beyond the mundane, a deeper understanding or experience that transcends the ordinary.

'Maldición' also addresses the protagonist's frustration with those who claim to understand but have repeatedly let them down. The lyrics criticize the superficiality of others who have 'spit in their face' and only occasionally remembered their existence. This sense of betrayal is compounded by the realization that existence itself is a paradox, described as 'morir al revés' (dying in reverse). The song concludes with a defiant stance, urging others to choose their own path and not interfere with the protagonist's pursuit of happiness and authenticity. The repeated assertion that 'hay más' (there is more) serves as a reminder that there is always more beneath the surface, more than what is immediately visible or understood.
