Heavy Metal

Saratoga's song 'Heavy Metal' is a powerful anthem of defiance and passion, reflecting the band's unwavering commitment to their musical genre despite societal and industry pressures. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion against mainstream media and the music industry's tendency to favor more commercially viable, yet often superficial, acts. The opening lines, 'Guerra de audiencias no puedes entrar / No aguantan mis canciones no aceptarán,' highlight the struggle for acceptance and the frustration of being marginalized by the media. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line, 'Ese silencio en los medios / Me vuelve loco con su desprecio,' which speaks to the deafening silence and disdain from the mainstream towards their music.

The chorus, 'No hay cadenas en mis manos / Simplemente hablo claro / La música que hago es Heavy Metal,' serves as a declaration of independence and authenticity. Saratoga asserts that their music is a true expression of themselves, free from the constraints and expectations imposed by others. This theme of authenticity is a cornerstone of the heavy metal genre, which often prides itself on being a voice for the marginalized and misunderstood. The band's determination to continue making music despite the lack of mainstream support is evident in lines like 'Sigo aguantando vendiendo lo que puedo / Con el apoyo de sólo un par de huevos,' showcasing their resilience and dedication.

The song also touches on the personal sacrifices and challenges faced by the band members. Lines such as 'Estoy cansado de ver siempre lo mismo / Unas caras guapas mostrando ignorancia' criticize the superficiality and ignorance prevalent in the industry. Despite these challenges, the band remains steadfast in their mission, as expressed in 'Hoy me levanto no puedo esperar / Esta es mi vida y quiero llegar.' The song's defiant tone is encapsulated in the repeated assertion that 'No hay cadenas en mis manos,' symbolizing their unbreakable spirit and commitment to their art. 'Heavy Metal' by Saratoga is not just a song; it's a manifesto of resilience, authenticity, and the unyielding spirit of heavy metal music.
