Resignación

The song 'Resignación' by Pier delves into the daily struggles and the sense of entrapment experienced by individuals in a monotonous and oppressive society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is disillusioned with the lies and falsehoods that they can no longer tolerate. The phrase 'te duele el alma nada podés cambiar' (your soul hurts, you can't change anything) encapsulates the deep emotional pain and the feeling of helplessness that comes with being unable to alter one's circumstances.

The imagery of 'esquivando gente para poder llegar' (dodging people to get there) and 'esa escalera parece no funcionar' (that staircase seems not to work) symbolizes the futile and exhausting effort to navigate through life's obstacles. The reference to 'ese viaje como ganado vas, pobre animal' (that journey like cattle, poor animal) highlights the dehumanizing experience of being treated like livestock, stripped of individuality and autonomy. This metaphor underscores the devaluation of human life in a system that prioritizes conformity and productivity over personal well-being.

The song also critiques societal norms and expectations, as seen in 'la cartelera te impone cual es tu lugar' (the billboard imposes your place). This line suggests that societal structures dictate one's role and position, often leading to a sense of resignation and acceptance among the masses. However, the protagonist feels a sense of discomfort and resistance, as indicated by 'pero a vos te molesta' (but it bothers you). This resistance to conforming to societal expectations is a central theme of the song, reflecting a desire for individuality and authenticity in a world that demands uniformity.
