Eskorbuto a las Elecciones - De Ti Depende

Song Meaning

This track opens with a relentless, almost desperate repetition of "Ya no quedan más cojones," hammering home a sense of depleted willpower or courage. This raw, visceral declaration sets a tone of profound exhaustion before abruptly pivoting to the stark pronouncement: "Eskorbuto a las elecciones." It’s a blunt, almost nihilistic statement, suggesting a political system or societal choice that has become a last resort, a desperate measure when all other options have failed. The second half, "De Ti Depende," shifts the focus to individual agency, directly addressing the listener with "¡Tú eliges!" Yet, this empowerment is immediately undercut by a grim portrayal of existence. The lyrics paint a picture of being "Condenados a vivir / En climas contaminados" and forced to tread on "El asfalto ensangrentado," suggesting a world already damaged and violent. This creates a powerful tension between the call to choose and the bleak reality of the choices presented. The contrast between the powerful, privileged figures described as "Los culos cagones" who "Doman y cagan por los balcones" and the condemned masses is stark. These figures live in "lujo y el confort," seemingly detached from the polluted and blood-stained world below. The repeated question, "¿Quieres olvidarlo?" followed by the grim necessity to "Tendrás que soportarlo," highlights a societal tendency to ignore or suppress uncomfortable truths, a choice that perpetuates the existing conditions. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these lyrics lies in their brutal honesty and the unsettling juxtaposition of individual responsibility with systemic decay. The final, almost whispered "Y quizás de ti no dependa" casts a shadow of doubt over the initial call to action, suggesting that even the act of choosing might be an illusion, or that the damage is already too profound for individual will to overcome. It leaves the listener with a lingering sense of unease about the true extent of their agency in a seemingly predetermined, broken world.
