Like the Ramones, each band member uses the same last name, in this case "Explusado".
Guerrero de ciudad
Expulsados Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
las injusticias en este lugar.
Solo mi lanza podria romper
el gran molino de la oscuridad.
Con el fantasma del hambre detras
por bosques grises hoy voy a cruzar.
Piso el cadaver de alguien que no
Es mi destino negro, guerrero de ciudad.
En noches largas del frio invernal
sueño tener una vida normal
y el corazon me obliga a seguir
por el camino de la soledad.
Es mi destino negro, guerrero de ciudad.
The lyrics to Expulsados's song Guerrero de ciudad tell the story of a quixotic figure, a city warrior or 'guerrero de ciudad', who seeks to avenge injustices in his community. He comes armed with only his lance and the strength of his will to confront the darkness that prevails in his society. The journey he makes is treacherous, as he walks through grey forests with the ghost of hunger stalking him. Along the way, he steps on the corpse of someone who lacked the spirit to continue on their own path. Despite the bleakness of his journey, he continues to forge ahead, driven by the compassion and courage that define him.
The second stanza of the song reveals the conflicts that the singer faces. In the long, cold nights of winter, he dreams of having a 'normal' life. Yet, his heart compels him to continue along the path of solitude, determined to fulfill his destiny as a city warrior. The lyrics to this song speak to themes of struggle, hope, and resilience. The singer's journey is a metaphor for the broader struggle against social and economic injustice that many people face. However, his unwavering determination and courage inspire hope that positive change is possible.
