Moja Mi Corazón
Trotsky Vengaran
Drowning Sorrows in a World Gone Mad
Trotsky Vengaran's song "Moja Mi Corazón" is a poignant reflection on the chaos and despair that permeate modern life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world turned upside down, where the ground beneath one's feet feels like it's on fire and everything seems to be spiraling out of control. The imagery of sitting in the front row to witness the end of everything underscores a sense of helplessness and inevitability. This is a world where even the tourists, typically symbols of carefree enjoyment, are struggling to stay afloat amidst the 'black waves' of turmoil.
The recurring plea to 'moje mi corazón' (wet my heart) in a cup of liquor is a metaphor for seeking solace in alcohol to forget the harsh realities. The repeated line 'que los dioses ya no nos quieren' (the gods no longer love us) suggests a profound sense of abandonment and disillusionment. This sentiment is further emphasized by the mention of endless wars and the numbing effect of watching death counts on TV. The song captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by global and personal crises, where faith and divine intervention seem distant and unattainable.
In the latter part of the song, the lyrics touch on the futility of trying to make sense of everything. The singer expresses a preference for facing the harsh realities head-on, even if it means hitting a wall and losing everything, rather than being paralyzed by fear. This defiance against being trapped by one's own anxieties is a powerful statement about the human spirit's resilience. The song ultimately serves as a cathartic release, a way to cope with the overwhelming sense of loss and confusion in a world that feels increasingly hostile and indifferent.
