Peces Mutantes

Soziedad Alkoholika's song "Peces Mutantes" is a powerful critique of environmental degradation, particularly focusing on water pollution. The lyrics use the metaphor of fish in a river to highlight the severe consequences of industrial waste and political negligence. The repeated line, "Pero mira como beben los peces en el río," which translates to "But look at how the fish drink in the river," sets the stage for a grim depiction of the current state of the environment. The fish, once thriving in crystal-clear water, are now forced to consume contaminated water filled with waste, excrement, and other pollutants.

The song paints a vivid picture of the transformation of these fish, who are now described as having a "very bad face" and behaving strangely. This change is attributed to the pollution they are exposed to, leading to their physical deformities and rebellious nature. The lyrics emphasize that this is not a joke but a serious issue, as the fish are no longer the same as they once were. The imagery of fish floating belly-up and growing teeth underscores the severity of the pollution problem and its impact on aquatic life.

The chorus and subsequent verses serve as a rallying cry against those responsible for the pollution. The song calls out industrialists, politicians, and even ordinary people who treat rivers and seas as dumping grounds. The repeated exclamations of "¡prepárate!" ("get ready!") serve as a warning to these groups that the consequences of their actions are catching up with them. The song's urgent tone and vivid imagery make it a compelling call to action for environmental protection and a stark reminder of the damage caused by pollution.
