El Raton Perez
Grupo Encanto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Depredadores fuera de su jaula
No tengan miedo
Trato de buscar el escondite perfecto cerrando mis ojos
Trato de pasar por puentes prefabricados
Creados por la humanidad y el encanto que la rodea
¿Algun dia este ciclo llegara a su fin?
¿Algun dia nos veremos reflejados en un mundo que alguna vez soñamos?
La humanidad es una balanza entre lo que es correcto y lo que es facil
Y como cerdos nos comen
Cogen de nosotros lo que necesitan
Y pensando en su bienestar dejan que el silencio haga su parte
REPUGNANTES SOMOS
MEJORAR DEBEMOS
Y ahora la conciencia es testigo de su crimen
Y la noche actuando como un gran proyector refleja la verdad hacia el horizonte
Ahora solo queda salir de nuestro escondite
Y la realidad se apoderara de los SOBREVIVIENTES
Y ahora los depredadores somos nosotros...
In Grupo Encanto's song "El ratón Perez", the lyrics depict a revolution of the pigs. The pigs, who were once confined to their cages, have now broken free and become predators. The singer encourages them not to be afraid and to find the perfect hiding spot. They try to navigate through pre-fabricated bridges created by humanity and the charm that surrounds it.
The lyrics raise questions about whether this cycle will ever come to an end and if they will ever see themselves reflected in a world they once dreamed of. It suggests that humanity is a balance between what is right and what is easy. Like pigs, they are being consumed and taken advantage of, with their needs being met by others who prioritize their well-being and allow silence to play its part.
The song then takes a turn, stating that they are repulsive and need to improve. The conscience becomes a witness to their crime, and the night acts as a projector reflecting the truth towards the horizon. Now, they must come out of their hiding place, and reality will take hold of the survivors. The predators are now the pigs themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "El ratón Perez" metaphorically explore the idea of a revolution or transformation, where the oppressed become the oppressors. It calls for reflection on the balance between self-preservation and the preservation of others and questions the nature of humanity.
