Adoctrinad@s

Ska-P's song "Adoctrinad@s" is a powerful critique of societal indoctrination and the subtle ways in which control is exerted over individuals. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how indoctrination permeates every aspect of life, from the neighborhood and workplace to universities and even homes. The repetition of locations like "en el barrio" (in the neighborhood) and "en la universidad" (in the university) emphasizes the ubiquity of this influence, suggesting that no place is free from the reach of societal conditioning.

The song challenges listeners to recognize and resist the normalization of oppressive systems. Lines like "Si veneras al ladrón, si confías en la ley" (If you worship the thief, if you trust the law) and "Si renuncias a pensar por no querés desentonar" (If you give up thinking to not stand out) highlight the ways in which people are complicit in their own oppression by accepting and justifying the status quo. The metaphor of a "bonita cárcel de cristal" (beautiful glass prison) that is called democracy underscores the illusion of freedom in a system that subtly controls and manipulates.

Ska-P's punk and ska influences are evident in the rebellious and confrontational tone of the song. The repeated refrain "Te van a adoctrinar" (They are going to indoctrinate you) serves as both a warning and a call to action, urging listeners to remain vigilant and not lose control over their own thoughts and beliefs. The song's message is clear: true freedom requires awareness and resistance against the invisible chains that bind us.
