El Necio
Los Bunkers Lyrics

The first stanza of Los Bunkers' "El Necio" speaks to the pressure that comes with being an icon, and the desire to avoid cracking under that pressure. The singer seeks salvation from being unique and standing out amidst the masses, and requests recognition and a place in the pantheon of legends. However, he is met with the constant invitation to repent and change himself, to let go of his individuality and become a part of the crowd. He is invited to give up his own beliefs and identity to conform to others' expectations and the dominant narrative of the time. The singer is being pulled in many directions, but ultimately determines that he is content with living life on his own terms, regardless of the consequences. He does not believe in destiny or fate, but holds his own agency and autonomy as the ultimate guiding force. Despite the threats and persecution he may face, he is determined to remain true to himself and stand for what he believes in.

The second stanza of "El Necio" speaks to the idea of rebellion and resistance, and the consequences that may come with standing up against authority. The lyrics suggest that the singer's stubbornness and inability to compromise stems from a deeper sense of foolishness, but also from a defiance against oppressive forces. He acknowledges that he may face physical brutality and violence as a result of his resistance, but he is willing to pay the price for standing for his beliefs. Additionally, the lyrics suggest that the singer's obstinacy is a product of his upbringing and societal context, implying that the "necedad" or foolishness he embodies is not necessarily something inherent to him as a person.
