Asesinos

The song 'Asesinos' by Traidores is a powerful and poignant commentary on the pervasive suffering and corruption in society. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world filled with pain, where individuals are trapped by selfishness and greed. The imagery of abandoned children running barefoot to their sacrifice highlights the vulnerability and innocence lost in such a harsh environment. The song criticizes religious figures and politicians who exploit people's frustrations and fears, promising false paradises and selling what is priceless. These 'assassins' are metaphorically described as being loose, seeking to see others dead, and trying to escape their own guilt and emptiness.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that these 'assassins' are not just literal killers but also those who destroy hope and humanity. The repeated line 'nobody can escape from oneself' suggests that these individuals are ultimately unable to escape their own conscience and the consequences of their actions. The song also touches on the destructive impact of drug and arms traffickers, who toast to the death and suffering they cause, and the armies of hate that spread terror and doom the world to certain destruction.

Despite the dark themes, the song ends on a note of resilience and hope. The narrator sees a spark of fire in the eyes of the listener, suggesting that together, they can make things right. The lyrics convey a message that nothing is lost and that destiny is in their hands. The song concludes with a reminder that we are defined by our thoughts, feelings, and actions, and that the 'assassins' are those who metaphorically make love with death, embracing destruction rather than life. This powerful message encourages listeners to take control of their fate and resist the forces of corruption and despair.
