Rebellion Against a False World: The Essence of 'Nos Hizo De Menos'
Sôber's song 'Nos Hizo De Menos' delves into themes of disillusionment and rebellion against a world perceived as false and oppressive. The lyrics open with a call to let the wind speak, symbolizing a desire for natural, unfiltered truth in contrast to the 'formalismos locos' (crazy formalities) and 'dulce sonrisa de su gran falsedad' (sweet smile of its great falseness) that dominate society. This sets the stage for a narrative of frustration and a yearning for authenticity.
The song's verses reflect a deep-seated weariness with societal norms and expectations. The lines 'cansados de ver corremos por el sial' (tired of seeing, we run through the sial) and 'hartos de no pensar deseando escalar la escalera hacia el bien' (tired of not thinking, wishing to climb the ladder towards good) express a collective exhaustion and a desire to escape the superficiality and constraints imposed by the world. The repeated questioning of 'creer para qué' (believe for what) underscores a sense of hopelessness and the futility of conforming to societal expectations.
The chorus, 'el mundo nos hizo de menos' (the world made us less), encapsulates the song's central theme of feeling diminished and undervalued by the world. This sentiment is further emphasized by the imagery of 'obras de teatro sin poder cambiar el mundo' (theater plays without the power to change the world), suggesting that societal roles and performances are ultimately meaningless. The song concludes with a longing for a 'mundo mejor' (better world) and a deep breath towards a hopeful future, despite the prevailing sense of disillusionment.
