Cómo te atreves
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hablar de belleza en el supermercado,
como te atreves
A no babear delante del pastel,
como te atreves
A izar la bandera del amotinado
como te atreves
A ser un enamorado de Jacques Brel,
A andar por ahí diciendo lo que piensas,
como te atreves
A dogmatizar que el sexo es como Dios,
como te atreves
A no ser un cazador de recompensas,
como te atreves
a descojonarte del 92.
¡intenso!, ¡masoca!,
Te escupen cada vez que dices
que te contradices por abrir la boca
¡purista!, ¡vetusto!,
Te ladran por seguir diciendo
que te está jodiendo tanto precio justo...
Parece que es normal,
incluso racional,
Que adorne tu espalda algún puñal.
Como te atreves
A no comprender que todo es compra-venta
como te atreves
A desenterrar el mito del autor,
como te atreves
A no abandonar el look de los 60
como te atreves
A sobrevivir sin un ordenador,
como te atreves
A olerte que marketing huele a marxismo,
como te atreves
A no ser más culto con el rock and roll
como te atreves
A reivindicar que el otro es uno mismo
como te atreves
A no hacer canción urbana en español.
¡intenso!, ¡masoca!
The song "Cómo te atreves" by Luis Eduardo Aute expresses a sentiment of defiance and non-conformity towards societal norms that focus on consumerism, superficial beauty, and following the crowd.

He praises those who are not shallow, who appreciate the beauty in things beyond what can be found in a supermarket. He encourages those who speak their minds and challenge dogmatic attitudes towards sex and relationships. He celebrates those who are not motivated by material gain or status, but who instead value their own unique perspectives and ideas.
The song also explores the theme of being an outsider or "misfit". Aute highlights the criticism and rejection that often accompanies those who do not conform to societal expectations. However, he ultimately suggests that those who are willing to take risks and embrace their individuality are the ones who make a difference and have a meaningful impact on the world.
Overall, "Cómo te atreves" is a call to action for listeners to reject narrow-minded thinking and explore new perspectives, while also celebrating the beauty in being different and standing out from the crowd.
