RUBICON

The song "RUBICON" by Peso Pluma delves into themes of self-reliance, street wisdom, and the hustle of making a living. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is unapologetically themselves, disregarding the negative opinions of others ('Dicen que soy mamón, también que soy culero'). The artist emphasizes a lack of concern for others' judgments and a focus on self-preservation ('No sufro de conciencia, yo cuido mi cuero'). The reference to 'un buen veneno' could symbolize the allure of risky or harmful activities that one might be drawn to out of necessity or desire.

The song continues to explore the artist's lifestyle, which includes staying alert ('Pendiente al celular y también de los medio') and being spiritually protected ('Me cuidan los collares que traigo en el pecho'). These lines suggest a life that requires constant vigilance and perhaps a belief in higher powers or superstitions for protection against envy and betrayal. The mention of a 'Rubicon' in the chorus is a metaphorical reference to a point of no return, indicating a significant and irreversible step in one's life, much like Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon River, which signified a point of irreversible commitment.

Peso Pluma's narrative is one of determination and focus on success ('Cumpliendo mi objetivo, pienso positivo'). The lyrics mention 'moviendo esos paquetes llenos de cuadritos,' which could be a veiled reference to dealing in illicit activities as a means to an end—earning money ('Verdes dolaritos, puros benjamines me hacen generar'). The song's persona is someone who is deeply entrenched in their ways, uninterested in looking back, and solely focused on the goal of making money. The cultural references to 'Eleguá' and the use of 'hierbita' to relax suggest a blend of spiritual beliefs and recreational habits that are part of the artist's life and coping mechanisms.
