Fantasmas En Tu Habitacion
Pablo Ruiz
Escaping the Ghosts: A Journey Through Rock and Revolution
Pablo Ruiz's song "Fantasmas En Tu Habitacion" delves into the struggles of modern life and the yearning for a better existence. The lyrics open with a depiction of a person burdened by daily worries and financial constraints, symbolized by a 'bored face' and 'worries.' This imagery sets the stage for a broader critique of societal pressures and the monotonous grind that many people face. Ruiz questions why individuals don't connect their ideas with something better, suggesting a need for change and innovation in their lives.
The song then shifts to a call to action, urging listeners not to waste their energy on futile efforts but to harness their strength for meaningful change. The line "Pegaremos un grito de guerra" (We will let out a war cry) is a powerful metaphor for rallying together to fight against the oppressive forces that weigh them down. This collective action is further emphasized by the mention of 'the tribe,' indicating a sense of community and solidarity in the face of adversity.
In the chorus, Ruiz invites listeners to embark on a journey through rock music, away from the 'jungle' and the 'big bad wolf,' which can be interpreted as symbols of the chaotic and predatory nature of modern society. The search for 'another civilization' represents the quest for a better, more just world where the 'ghosts in your room'—the fears and anxieties that haunt us—no longer exist. This journey through rock music is not just an escape but a transformative experience that promises hope and change.
