¡Alto!

Vetusta Morla's song "¡Alto!" is a powerful commentary on the confusion and disillusionment that can arise in a world filled with misinformation and manipulation. The song opens with a call to stop ("¡Alto!") and describes the arrival of soldiers in rented uniforms, symbolizing forces that create chaos and confusion. These soldiers are on a mission to strip every expression of its meaning, reflecting how truth and authenticity are often undermined in contemporary society.

The lyrics suggest a long-standing presence of these manipulative forces, as they have been around for "demasiados años" (too many years). The protagonist warns to be careful, as the desire to return to a state of clarity and truth will always be present. The line "Yo guardo la fe, tú encuentra el milagro" (I keep the faith, you find the miracle) emphasizes the need for hope and the search for something genuine amidst the chaos.

As the song progresses, it describes a scenario where fields and words are being fumigated, symbolizing the widespread contamination of ideas and communication. The protagonist questions who has driven them away and laments how the land they planted has turned to mud, indicating a loss of stability and purity. The recurring theme of poisoned air and artificial rain further underscores the pervasive nature of this corruption. Despite this, the protagonist holds onto faith, urging the listener to find their own miracle, a beacon of hope in a tainted world.
