No Lograrán Distraerme
G.I.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bicis con motor
Un super audio y walkman
Comida envasada
Flippers, mini pool
Sintetizadores y racks
Que tienen un botón
Y si llegan a apretarlo...
Tengo televisión
Que vende en color
Lo que debo comprar
Entro en la rutina
Al oír sonar
Mi reloj digital
Y los señores poderosos
Tienen un botón
Y si llegan a apretarlo...
A mí me dieron cosas para jugar
Pero no lograrán distraerme
Conejitas del Playboy
Puedo disfrutar
Si en cuotas me las dan
Yo tengo todo, todo
Lo que no es verdad
En este mundo material
Y los señores poderosos
Tienen un botón
Y si llegan a apretarlo...
A mí me dieron cosas para jugar
Pero no lograrán distraerme
Conozco bien esa mentira
Unos juegan a la vida
Y otros a la muerte...
The song "No Lograrán Distraerme" by G.I.T. is about the power of consumerism and the ways in which people can be distracted and controlled by material possessions. The lyrics describe a variety of gadgets and toys that the singer has, from video games to motorbikes to synthesizers, and how they can all be used to distract him from the things that really matter in life. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the idea that no matter how many things he has, the singer will not be distracted from the truth.
The second half of the song delves deeper into this idea, describing the ways in which people can become trapped in a cycle of consumerism and routine. The singer talks about his television, which tells him what to buy, and his digital watch, which keeps him on schedule. He recognizes that there are "powerful men" who control these things, and that they have the ability to push a button and change his life in an instant.
Despite all of this, the singer remains resolute. Although he acknowledges the allure of material possessions and the ways in which they can be used to manipulate and control people, he ultimately rejects this way of life. He understands that life is not just about playing games and accumulating toys, and that there are deeper truths to be discovered. In the end, he asserts that he will not be distracted by these things and will remain true to his principles.
