Uztar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El que viene tiene su razón
Vivo buscando una forma de irnos
Pero huir se siente fuerte en los brazos
El camino nos espera aún
Si te animas dale hacia el sur
Se termina su coerción
Despierta, despierta, despierta
"Distopía" by Uztar is a song with a hint of optimism and hopefulness in its lyrics, urging us to wake up and work towards a better future. The song opens with "Bienvenido a mi mundo azul," which translates to "Welcome to my blue world." This world is a metaphor for a place we long to be, a utopia that we aspire to create. The lyrics follow with "El que viene tiene su razón," meaning that those who join this world have their own reasons for doing so, perhaps to escape the current state of society or to pursue a better life.
The singer reveals that they too are searching for a way to leave this dystopian world, but acknowledges that it is difficult to do so. The line "Pero huir se siente fuerte en los brazos" translates to "But escaping feels strong in the arms." This suggests that the temptation to run away from our problems can be hard to resist, even if it doesn't solve anything in the long run.
The chorus, "Despierta, despierta, despierta" (Wake up, wake up, wake up) is a call to action, a reminder that we need to open our eyes and take action to create a better world. The song closes with the lines "Si hundimos toda la fundación, se termina su coerción," which means "If we sink the entire foundation, their coercion will end." This line suggests that with collective effort, it is possible to dismantle the systems that hold us back and lead to a more just and equitable world.
