Cosas que nadie oia

Resistencia Suburbana's song "Cosas que nadie oía" paints a vivid picture of the challenges and betrayals one faces in the harsh realities of modern life. The lyrics use the metaphor of a jungle to describe a world filled with dangers and deceit. The imagery of venomous snakes, hungry crocodiles, and vultures waiting to feast on the dead highlights the constant threats and the predatory nature of society. Friends who betray and laugh like hyenas when they succeed in bringing you down further emphasize the treacherous environment the singer finds himself in.

The song delves deeper into the personal struggle of the protagonist, who is fighting for his life amidst these dangers. The repeated line "peleando por mi vida" (fighting for my life) underscores the relentless battle against external threats and internal demons. The mention of justice being a slow and arrogant trap that catches only small prey, never the big ones, reflects a cynical view of societal systems and their inefficacy in delivering true justice.

In the latter part of the song, the focus shifts to self-reflection and personal growth. The singer acknowledges that changing the world is not his goal; instead, he seeks to change himself. Walking barefoot over the embers of his ego and swimming in the turbulent waters of his arrogance symbolize a journey of self-discovery and humility. The act of singing "cosas que nadie oía" (things that no one heard) suggests a sense of isolation and the struggle to be understood in a world that is often indifferent to individual suffering and growth.
