Hipócritas

The song 'Hipócritas' by Resistencia Suburbana paints a vivid and heart-wrenching picture of societal neglect and hypocrisy. The narrative begins with the image of a young boy abandoned by his parents, left to fend for himself on the streets. His bare feet symbolize his vulnerability and the harshness of his reality. The boy's life is marked by solitude and abandonment, not just by his parents but by society as a whole. This abandonment is a powerful metaphor for the broader societal neglect of the most vulnerable members of the community.

The song further delves into the boy's coping mechanisms, such as inhaling glue (poxirran) on the street corner. This act is a desperate attempt to escape his grim reality, yet it is met with indifference by the 'hipocritas'—the hypocrites who turn a blind eye to his suffering. The presence of a stray dog, also abandoned, serves as a poignant parallel to the boy's own situation. Together, they navigate a world that has cast them aside, highlighting the shared plight of the neglected and the voiceless.

Resistencia Suburbana uses this narrative to critique the pervasive hypocrisy in society. The repeated references to 'hipocritas' underscore the frustration and anger towards those who pretend to care but do nothing to alleviate the suffering around them. The song is a call to action, urging listeners to recognize and address the systemic issues that lead to such profound neglect. It challenges the audience to move beyond superficial concern and take meaningful steps to support those in need, breaking the cycle of hypocrisy and indifference that plagues society.
