The above lyrics from Nouvelle Gaia's song Agonia describe the struggles that individuals face in a society that prioritizes productivity and material gain above all else. The first line, "Su existencia sujeta a la productividad" (Their existence subject to productivity), highlights how people are expected to constantly hustle and be productive, even if it means sacrificing their mental and physical health. The second line, "Vidas confinadas a la agonía" (Lives confined to agony), speaks to the toll that this lifestyle takes on individuals, causing them to feel confined and trapped in a state of perpetual suffering.
The next two lines, "Caminos impuestos por la avaricia" (Paths imposed by greed) and "Consciencia olvidada en la vorágine" (Consciousness forgotten in the whirlwind), suggest that this societal pressure to be productive is not a natural state of being, but rather a result of greed and capitalist values. The lyrics imply that this constant pressure to perform can lead to a loss of identity and a disconnection from oneself.
Overall, the lyrics of "Agonia" by Nouvelle Gaia critique the capitalist culture that values productivity above all else, making a powerful statement about the importance of prioritizing mental and physical health over material gain.
