Boikot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tienes muchas piedras que tu irás saltando
Imagínate, que tu iras saltando
Imagínate, que tu irás saltando
Llevas todo el día pidiendo explicaciones
Llevas todo el día tocándome los cojones
Que si vas por buen camino
parece el adecuado
me dice el tío enrollado
venderá la moto
después tu coco
no hemos tenido tanta suerte
trabajamos en la mina para no veros
y mojándonos en lluvia ácida
parece que te hablan, te dicen, te aconsejan
ese tío imbécil que se mira y se peina
que si voy por mal camino parece el adecuado
que si voy por buen camino y se mira en un espejo
ya está qui, ya llegó
es el héroe de los niños Mortadelo y Filemón
trabajan pal estado, ya desde muy crío
yo siempre he sospechado
imagínate que aún estas saltando
imagínate, que hostia te has pegao
The lyrics to Boikot's song Lluvia Acida touch on themes of perseverance and staying on track despite the obstacles and detractors. The first verse speaks directly to the listener, encouraging them to keep going despite the many obstacles that will inevitably arise on their journey. The repetition of "imagínate, que tu irás saltando" emphasizes the need for the listener to keep jumping over these obstacles, while also reminding them that they do have the ability to overcome them. However, the following lines reveal that the external pressures to deviate from this path are great, with others constantly questioning and criticizing the listener's choices. This is especially true of the "tío enrollado," who is depicted as someone who will charm and manipulate in order to sell a false sense of success.
The second verse continues with this idea of external pressures, painting a picture of a society in which people are forced to work difficult and dangerous jobs just to survive, while those in power maintain their comfortable positions. The reference to "lluvia ácida" (acid rain) is a symbol of the environmental and societal decay that results from this kind of inequality. The singer expresses frustration with those who would advise them, particularly the "tío imbécil" who looks at himself in the mirror and has an air of superiority. The closing line, "imagínate, que hostia te has pegao," is a reminder that falling off the path has consequences.
