Naturaleza

Siniestro Total's song 'Naturaleza' is a satirical commentary on environmentalism and the sometimes hypocritical behaviors of those who advocate for it. The repeated chant of 'Naturaleza' (Nature) sets the tone for a song that humorously critiques the contradictions and absurdities the band perceives in the environmental movement. The lyrics are filled with vivid, often crude imagery that serves to highlight these contradictions in a provocative manner.

The first verse introduces the idea that environmentalists, despite their noble intentions, are not immune to the messiness of life. The line 'Los ecologistas están en la hierba y todas sus partes se llenan de mierda' (The ecologists are in the grass and all their parts get filled with shit) suggests that even those who are close to nature are not exempt from its less pleasant aspects. This is further emphasized by the humorous speculation about what their partners might think of their 'dirty balls,' a metaphor for the unavoidable grime that comes with being in nature.

The song continues with more personal anecdotes, such as the story of 'mi prima Genara' (my cousin Genara), who is an ecologist but whose home is as cluttered as a florist's shop. The imagery of a branch brushing against her boyfriend during an intimate moment serves as a metaphor for the intrusive and sometimes impractical aspects of extreme environmentalism. The final verse about 'mi primo Alberto' (my cousin Alberto) who becomes impotent from improper sunbathing, and his racist wife's reaction, adds another layer of dark humor and social commentary. This verse critiques not only environmental practices but also touches on issues of racism and superficial judgments.

Siniestro Total uses 'Naturaleza' to blend humor with criticism, creating a song that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The band's punk rock background is evident in their irreverent approach, challenging listeners to reflect on the complexities and contradictions of environmentalism and human behavior.
