Qué paso con la paz
Los Crudos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque nunca tuvieron la oportunidad
De sentirlo en su vida
La paz para algunos es algo siempre extraño
Que en su vida les llega solo en sus sueños
Y la gente del primer mundo
Que están rodeados de privilegios
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¡No existió!
Existen niños que no conocen la paz
Porque nunca tuvieron la oportunidad
De sentirlo en su vida
La paz para algunos es algo siempre extraño
Que en su vida les llega solo en sus sueños
Y la gente del primer mundo
Que están rodeados de privilegios
Dan sus espaldas a las víctimas de su vida de conveniencia
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¿Qué pasó con la paz?
¡No existió!
The lyrics of Los Crudos's song "Qué paso con la paz" convey a powerful message about the lack of peace in the lives of marginalized individuals and communities. The first verse speaks about how some children have never experienced peace in their lives, and it is something that is unfamiliar to them. This lack of peace is further intensified by the fact that individuals in privileged positions are often apathetic towards the struggles and hardships of those in marginalized communities. The chorus repeats the question "What happened to peace?" to emphasize the absence of peace in many people's lives.
The lyrics of the song suggest that peace is not something that can be easily attained, especially for those who have been denied basic rights and opportunities. It also highlights the stark contrast between the lives of people in privileged positions and those who are not as fortunate. The use of rhetorical questions in the chorus serves to challenge listeners to think about the root causes of inequality and injustice, and encourages them to take action to bring about positive change.
Overall, "Qué paso con la paz" is a call to action for everyone to work towards creating a world where peace and justice are accessible to all, regardless of their background or social status.
