Duermes

Poncho K's song "Duermes" delves into the complexities and contradictions of human existence, touching on themes of destruction, rebirth, and societal apathy. The opening lines, "Destajos que arrasan la tierra y pa recuperar nunca mas," speak to the irreversible damage inflicted upon the earth, suggesting a sense of hopelessness in the face of environmental degradation. This sets the stage for the recurring refrain, "Y ahora duermes, duermes, duermes, duermes," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for societal complacency and the collective sleepwalking through life’s critical issues.

The lyrics explore the cyclical nature of life and death, as seen in the lines, "Donde empieza el desnacer que encontramos al morir, donde acaba el desmorir que perdemos al nacer." This poetic juxtaposition highlights the paradoxes inherent in existence, suggesting that life and death are intertwined in a continuous loop. The song also critiques the passive acceptance of life's hardships, as indicated by the lines, "no asomas la duda ni ofendes ni pinchas ni cortas ni duermes." Here, Poncho K seems to be calling out the lack of action and questioning in the face of adversity.

Further, the song addresses social injustices and the absurdity of human priorities. The poignant line, "Como es que hay gente que muere de hambre y se gastan su parte en bombas nucleares," underscores the irrationality of spending resources on weapons while people suffer from hunger. This critique is amplified by the visceral imagery of someone being tied down and vomiting, symbolizing the physical and emotional toll of societal neglect. Poncho K's raw and unfiltered lyrics serve as a wake-up call, urging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and take action against the injustices that plague our world.
