Living in a World Without Forgiveness: The Struggles of Tempo
Tempo's song 'Seguimos aquí (ft getto y gastam)' is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of life in a harsh, unforgiving world. The recurring line 'Seguimos aquí, mi voz viviendo en guerra, y no hay perdón' (We are still here, my voice living in war, and there is no forgiveness) sets the tone for the entire song. It speaks to the constant state of conflict and the absence of mercy in the environment Tempo describes. This world is one where survival is a daily battle, and forgiveness is a luxury that doesn't exist.
The lyrics delve into Tempo's personal experiences, highlighting the suffering and betrayal he has faced. He mentions seeing 'tanto sufrimiento y llanto' (so much suffering and crying) and feeling the pain firsthand. This personal connection to the hardships he describes adds a layer of authenticity to his words. Tempo's gratitude for being alive, despite not knowing his destiny or who his true friends are, underscores the precariousness of his existence. The presence of numerous enemies wishing him harm further emphasizes the dangerous and hostile environment he navigates daily.
Tempo also touches on the paradox of fame and wealth, stating that neither brings him happiness. He expresses a reliance on God and his 'corta' (a slang term for a firearm) for protection. This dual dependence on faith and a weapon reflects the complex reality of his life, where spiritual and physical defenses are both necessary. The song's repeated assertion that 'no hay perdón' (there is no forgiveness) serves as a stark reminder of the relentless and unforgiving nature of the world Tempo inhabits. His music becomes a means of survival and expression in a place where understanding and compassion are scarce.
