Crisis
S.E.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changes, we all can feel the changes (woah)
We are running never stopping
Lying, cheating photo shopping
Weary eves of ears are dropping
Blocking, stalking, no more talking
Money making backs are breaking
Politicians hands are shaking
Earth is quaking aching till it burns
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else to go (mmh no where else to go)
Crisis, we need to stop this crisis (woah)
Changes, your actions make the changes (woah)
Imagine mental satisfaction
Came from social interaction
Now it seems it's a distraction
So counteract this chain reaction
It's interesting and sickening
That inhibiting and distancing
Is limiting and crippling
Our social health that's fading till it burns
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else
Together we are strong
Together we carry on
Together all over the world
Even though we're apart
United we should work for a better future for all
Woah woah woah woah
Yeah yeah yeah, you know we have to
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize that we've got nowhere else to go
Stop! Taking all these things for granted
Stop! we need to reunite the planet
Stop! what we have reaped must be replanted (oh woah woah)
Realize the earth is aching till it burns
Stop! (Ohh)
Stop! (We got to)
Stop! (Mmh)
Stop!
Stop!

Enorme como siempre, Estela. Enhorabuena. Yo suelo resumir este tema en una frase que escuché en una conferencia y que me abrió los ojos: "Esta es la primera generación para la cual los hitos tradicionales de adultez (casa, familia, hijos) ha dejado de ser accesible".
Pues eso.

Conforme me acerco a los 30 (28 años ahora); voy viendo como amigos van "roleando" la adultez, con más o menos intensidad y normatividad... y yo estoy que me tiro de los pelos.
Creo que como bien dices, achaco buena parte del problema a las heteronormatividades, y es que veo con desesperación cómo amigas que solteras son la caña... dejar de lado tantas "locuras" cuando entran en una relación, sumiéndose en el pádel + findes en pareja + apañar un pisito para la pareja con innumerables visitas a Ikea. Y, ojo, que yo vivo en pareja, pero me apetece hacer con ella y sin ella millones de cosas... ¡no sólo tres!
Desde luego, me asusta esa corriente tan magnética y tan inevitable, que ve con ridiculez cualquier estridencia y asume acríticamente "la adultez".

Lo primero, gran vídeo como siempre! Luego, un poco de chapa, por compartir experiencias: en unos meses cumplo 38, y llevo inmerso en el conflicto con las supuestas obligaciones de la vida adulta desde hace por lo menos una década. Para mí, en el fondo de mi corazón, nunca ha tenido sentido que crecer signifique conseguir una serie de hitos materiales (piso, coche, trabajo) o relacionales (pareja, hijos). Este descreimiento mío (que comparto con mucha gente en realidad) me ha llevado a tener todo tipo de problemas familiares, de pareja, y sobre todo conflictos tremendos conmigo mismo. Pero después de mucha terapia, varias rupturas, y mucha carambola laboral, sigo en mis trece, cada vez más convencido de que uno crece cuando asume la responsabilidad de ser fiel a uno mismo y a su comunidad, sea esta la que sea, y que todo lo demás son imposiciones sociales, muy asociadas a que en torno a ellas hay una industria sobre la cual, básicamente, se sustenta el grueso de nuestro fallido sistema económico. Debate aparte es si tiene algún sentido seguir manteniendo la ficción de la adultez en un mundo que está literalmente en llamas, y si no deberíamos de una vez dejarnos de tonterías y empezar a preocuparnos por tener un futuro, al menos mínimamente habitable para todxs.

Buen vídeo Estela. Me preocupa en dos semanas cumplir 23 y sentirme con los agobios inherentes a la "adultez". Me interesa de sobremanera lo que vayas a explicar de los conflictos intergeneracionales, en mis ambientes de trabajo me relaciono con gente de generaciones tanto más viejas como más jóvenes que la mía y la verdad es que es un panorama curioso.

Hola, Estela. Acabo de descubrirte gracias a Alba. Me alegra mucho lo que compartes, porque me ayuda a entender mejor ciertas relaciones sociales invisibles. Mi pregunta o mi petición es la siguiente:¿Te animas a hacer un video ensayo de la serie estadounidense "Bojack Horseman" ? Tiene ratos de haber culminado, pero creo que tiene muchos elementos que tratas y puedes explicar con mayores detalles. Pienso en este tema de la adultez mandatada y la cuestión del " día siguiente" de las metas. Gracias por tus videos.
