Desde Abajo

Subze's song "Desde Abajo" is a powerful anthem of resilience and determination. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's struggles and triumphs, starting from a place of hardship and working tirelessly to achieve his dreams. The phrase "camino con los pies de plomo" (I walk with lead feet) suggests the heavy burden he carries, while "pisando con mis botas el lodo" (stepping in the mud with my boots) symbolizes the difficult path he has trodden. Despite these challenges, Subze emphasizes the importance of fighting for one's dreams, as reflected in the line "por eso pelea" (that's why you fight).

The song also delves into themes of loneliness and betrayal. Subze reflects on the lack of support he received during his toughest times, questioning the motives of those who now seek to collaborate with him. This sentiment is captured in the lines "¿Dónde estabas tú cuando necesité?" (Where were you when I needed you?) and "Ahora todos quieren cacho del pastel" (Now everyone wants a piece of the pie). These lines highlight the artist's skepticism towards newfound allies and underscore the isolation he felt during his journey.

Despite the hardships, "Desde Abajo" is ultimately a song of hope and perseverance. Subze repeatedly asserts that he will not lose hope as long as he is alive, even though there are plenty of reasons to cry. This unwavering optimism is encapsulated in the chorus, "No pierdo la esperanza mientras esté vivo" (I don't lose hope as long as I'm alive). The song serves as a testament to the power of hard work and the belief that one can overcome any obstacle, no matter how daunting.
