Unmasking Superficiality: The Quest for True Identity in 'Libidez'

In 'Libidez,' Vieja Escuela delves into the struggle between superficiality and genuine self-discovery. The song opens with a call to introspection, urging listeners to seek a deeper form of enjoyment beyond the shallow pleasures of a fashion-driven, glamorous world. The lyrics criticize a lifestyle that prioritizes external appearances over true identity, highlighting how such a superficial existence can ruin one's potential. The repeated use of the word 'libidez'—a term often associated with desire or lust—serves as a metaphor for the empty pursuit of pleasure that lacks substance.

The song's chorus emphasizes the importance of freedom, not just in the physical sense but also in the freedom to think, feel, and express oneself authentically. Vieja Escuela encourages listeners to fight for their opinions and not to fall into the trap of cold, superficial desires that only decorate the exterior. Instead, the band advocates for loving and defending what lies within, suggesting that true freedom comes from understanding and embracing one's inner self.

'Libidez' also touches on the theme of identity, urging listeners to find and improve themselves without being misled by how they dress or present themselves outwardly. The repeated calls for 'libertad' (freedom) underscore the message that true change and self-improvement come from within, not from superficial alterations. By the end of the song, Vieja Escuela makes it clear that real freedom is not about changing one's external appearance but about discovering and nurturing one's true identity.
