No Es un Simulacro
Trotsky Vengarán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cosas para odiar
Donde queda la salida.
Nada personal,
Estaba escrito en el manual
Solo habia que esperar.
Un laberinto que,
No tiene solucion.
La luz roja está encendida.
No es un simulacro,
La alarma suena ya
El laboratorio va a explotar
Algo salio mal.
Corres por tu vida una vez mas
Y no miras atras, vivis para escapar.
Sos una rata mas, que no quizo cooperar
Otra generacion perdida
Alguien tiene que pagar.
No es un simulacro,
La alarma suena ya
El laboratorio va a explotar,
Algo salio mal.
Corres por tu vida una vez mas
Y no miras atras, vivis para escapar
The lyrics to Trotsky Vengaran’s “No Es Un Simulacro” describe a world filled with frustration and the relentlessness of constantly being stuck in a cycle of chaos. The opening lines, “A long list of things to hate/Where is the exit?” sets the stage for a tone of despair and helplessness. The lyrics continue to describe the omnipresent red light that is always on, the sound of the alarm ringing in your ear, and the constant running for your life. The sense of urgency is heightened as the chorus repeats, “This is not a drill/ The alarm is ringing now/ The laboratory is going to explode/ Something went wrong.”
The lyrics are symbolic of the ups and downs of life, with a focus on the downs. The idea of a laboratory going to explode can be seen as a metaphor for life spiraling out of control. The lines, “You’re just another rat, who didn’t want to cooperate/ Another lost generation/ Someone has to pay,” represent the feeling of being stuck in a system that you cannot escape from, leading to a sense of hopelessness and frustration.
Overall, “No Es Un Simulacro” by Trotsky Vengaran is a song that speaks to the struggles of feeling trapped in a chaotic world, while also acknowledging that there is a need to keep moving forward, even when things go wrong.
