De que hablas?

Shaila's song "De que hablas?" delves into the theme of action versus empty rhetoric. The lyrics criticize those who talk endlessly without taking meaningful action. The opening lines, "Si no entré en tu esquema / Fue porque entendiste mal," suggest a misunderstanding or misalignment with someone who is all talk and no action. The repeated question, "Dónde estabas cuándo esto empezaba?" challenges the listener to reflect on their contributions, or lack thereof, to a cause or movement.

The song emphasizes the value of building and creating over merely talking about ideas. Lines like "Porque al final solo quedamos / Los que construimos sin hablar" highlight that, in the end, only those who take action and build something meaningful will remain. This sentiment is reinforced with the idea that attempts to tear down these builders only serve to strengthen their resolve and affirm their path.

Shaila also critiques the superficial understanding of complex ideologies. The lyrics, "Recitas sobre autogestión / Sin saber de lo que hablas," point out the irony of someone preaching self-management without truly understanding it. The mention of revolutionary figures like Bakunin and Marx adds a layer of depth, suggesting that merely quoting famous thinkers is not enough; one must embody their principles through action. The song concludes with a poignant reminder to listen and reflect: "Olvidaste escucharte, de que hablas? / Decime de que hablas?" This calls out the hypocrisy of those who love to hear themselves talk but fail to listen or act.

"De que hablas?" is a powerful anthem for those who believe in the importance of action over empty words, urging listeners to reflect on their own contributions and the true meaning behind their words.
