Algunos Pasan De Todo

Victor Manuel's song "Algunos Pasan De Todo" delves into the theme of indifference and apathy that some people exhibit towards life and the world around them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of individuals who remain detached, observing life pass by from the comfort of their windows, metaphorically wrapped in cobwebs. These individuals are armed with their remote controls, symbolizing their preference for passive consumption over active engagement. They are indifferent to the world’s complexities, whether it be cultural or religious differences, as highlighted by the line "le dan igual moros que cristianos" (they don't care about Moors or Christians).

The song criticizes this passive attitude, suggesting that some people live in a self-made cocoon, weaving a thick web of indifference around themselves. They are unperturbed by anything, only getting upset when things don't go their way. This apathy is further emphasized by the line "les saca solo de quicio que no les digan lo que les gusta" (they only get upset when they are not told what they like). Victor Manuel uses strong language to underline the absurdity of such a lifestyle, even suggesting that being an idiot is something one can study for.

In contrast, the song also acknowledges the diversity of human behavior. While some people are indifferent, others are wise or foolish, and there are even "locos maravillosos" (wonderful crazies) who are worth more than their weight in gold. This juxtaposition serves to highlight the richness of human experience and the value of those who engage with life passionately. The song ultimately serves as a moral lesson, urging listeners to either confront the realities of life or risk becoming numb to everything around them.
