A comer

The song 'A comer' by The Kagas is a raw and unfiltered commentary on the harsh realities of war and oppression. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society ravaged by military violence, where survival becomes a daily struggle. The recurring phrase 'Otra vez' (Once again) emphasizes the cyclical nature of violence and the constant state of fear and deprivation experienced by the people. The imagery of soldiers, planes, and the sound of terror highlights the omnipresence of conflict and its impact on civilian life.

The chorus, with lines like 'Voy a robar tu comida' (I will steal your food) and 'Voy a vender tu fusil' (I will sell your rifle), reflects the desperate measures people take to survive. These actions symbolize resistance and the reclaiming of power in a situation where they are otherwise powerless. The line 'Me voy a comer un soldado' (I will eat a soldier) is a metaphor for consuming the oppressor, turning the tables on those who perpetuate violence. This act of defiance is a powerful statement against the dehumanization and exploitation faced by the oppressed.

The song also critiques the notion of cultural superiority, as seen in the line 'Si tu cultura es superior, es porque tus razones disparan mejor' (If your culture is superior, it's because your reasons shoot better). This highlights the hypocrisy and brutality of those who claim to be more 'civilized' while using violence to impose their will. The mention of 'sucia mafia militar' (dirty military mafia) and 'balas y prostitución' (bullets and prostitution) further underscores the corruption and moral decay that accompany military dominance. 'A comer' is a powerful anthem of resistance, survival, and the unyielding spirit of those who refuse to be subdued by oppression.
