Tir Al Ninot

ZOO Posse's song "Tir Al Ninot" delves deep into the struggles and resilience of marginalized communities. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of societal inequities, questioning the origins of destiny and the architects of societal structures. The song opens with a contemplation of fate and the unseen forces that shape lives even before birth, hinting at systemic injustices and the power dynamics at play. The imagery of a prisoner who never forgets the face of their jailer underscores a deep-seated resentment and a longing for liberation.

The song captures the essence of feeling like an outsider in a world filled with deceit, nostalgia for an unhealed past, and the bitterness of unaddressed pain. The lyrics speak to the experiences of those who were marginalized and ostracized, whether for their socioeconomic status or their defiance of societal norms. The reference to being insulted for being poor and the disdain of 'males companyies' (bad company) highlights the stigmatization faced by the underprivileged. The song portrays a sense of unity among the marginalized, who are seen as 'fils del caos i la locura' (children of chaos and madness), rebelling against the societal norms that have oppressed them.

The chorus, which speaks of throwing stones at the effigy on the altar, symbolizes a powerful act of defiance against the established order. The song also reflects on the changes in the artist's own life, moving from political pamphleteering to speaking about love, and the realization that fame comes with its own set of challenges. The lyrics critique the superficiality and conformity of those who have succeeded within the system, contrasting it with the raw, unfiltered experiences of those who have been left behind. The song ends with a poignant reflection on the pride and resilience of the marginalized, who continue to navigate their lives with dignity despite the systemic barriers they face.
