Utopia
Mordaza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Postrado de rodillas, enfrente de un policía
Y es que, había cometido un delito.
Se le ocurrió, que podía pensar en alto
Pero dispararon, contra sus ideas
Si, se las quemaron todas.
Y ahora ese hombre me mira, y de su boca hambrienta
Salen estas sucias palabras, salen estas sucias palabras.
Abrázame, hasta que alcancemos juntos la utopía
Abrázame, hasta que exhale mi último aliento
Abrázame, abrázame por siempre
Abrázame, o no me abrazes nunca.
The lyrics of Mordaza's song "Utopía" convey a powerful narrative that speaks to the suppression of free thought and the pursuit of a better world. The opening verse sets the scene of someone going out for a stroll and coming across a man on his knees in front of a police officer, who has committed a crime. The crime in question? Thinking out loud, expressing ideas that deviate from the norm. However, instead of addressing his ideas, they are met with violence and destruction as they are burned, leaving the man silenced.
The following lines reveal the desperation and frustration of this man, as he looks at the listener with hunger in his eyes and utters these dirty words from his mouth. These "dirty words" symbolize the ideas that were deemed dangerous and eliminated, rendering him voiceless and oppressed by those in power.
The chorus calls for an embrace, a gesture of compassion and unity, as a means to reach utopia. This embrace represents connection, empathy, and understanding between people. The plea to "embrace me until we together reach utopia" suggests that the pursuit of utopia, a perfect world, can only be achieved through unity and support. It signifies the longing for a society where freedom of thought and expression are respected and nurtured.
Additionally, the lyrics express the urgency of this embrace, imploring the listener to hold on tight until the artist's last breath. This highlights the importance of continuing the fight for utopia, even in the face of adversity and the threat of being silenced. The contradictory statement "embrace me forever, or don't embrace me at all" encapsulates the necessity of standing strong in one's beliefs and values, refusing to compromise for mere empty gestures.
Overall, "Utopía" serves as a poignant commentary on the dangers of suppressing ideas and the vital need for unity and understanding in the pursuit of a better world. It challenges listeners to embrace each other, both metaphorically and literally, as a way to dismantle the barriers that prevent true progress and the realization of utopia.

Salí a pasear, me encontré a un hombre
I went for a walk, and I came across a man
Postrado de rodillas, enfrente de un policía
Kneeling down in front of a police officer
Y es que, había cometido un delito.
Because he had committed a crime
Se le ocurrió, que podía pensar en alto
He had the idea that he could speak his mind
Pero dispararon, contra sus ideas
But they shot down his ideas
Si, se las quemaron todas.
Yes, they burned them all
Y ahora ese hombre me mira, y de su boca hambrienta
And now that man looks at me, with his hungry mouth
Salen estas sucias palabras, salen estas sucias palabras.
These dirty words come out, these dirty words come out
Abrázame, hasta que alcancemos juntos la utopía
Embrace me, until we reach utopia together
Abrázame, hasta que exhale mi último aliento
Hold me tight, until I exhale my last breath
Abrázame, abrázame por siempre
Embrace me, embrace me forever

Embrace me, or never embrace me
