En El Tejao

Soziedad Alkoholika's song 'En El Tejao' is a powerful anthem of resistance and liberation. The lyrics convey a sense of breaking free from oppression and reclaiming one's humanity. The opening lines describe a moment of clarity and renewal as the protagonist breathes in clean air, symbolizing a return to life and warmth. This newfound sense of being 'half-human' and feeling better suggests a struggle against dehumanization and a yearning for freedom.

The chorus emphasizes the protagonist's joy and defiance as they stand on the rooftop, feeling truly happy and visible. The repeated plea for others to see and acknowledge them highlights a desire for recognition and solidarity. The imagery of not seeing the 'damned bars' and instead seeing the horizon suggests a mental and emotional escape from confinement, with the belief that they can almost fly representing a sense of limitless potential and hope.

The song also addresses the collective strength and resilience of those who have suffered together. The lyrics speak of enduring various forms of abuse and torture, yet finding unity and empowerment in their shared experiences. The rooftop becomes a symbol of their defiance and visibility, a place where they can no longer be ignored. The repeated assertion that no one can take away their heart or prevent their strength from emerging underscores the indomitable spirit of the oppressed. 'En El Tejao' is a rallying cry for freedom, solidarity, and the unbreakable human spirit in the face of adversity.
