Los Invisibles
The Unseen: A Reflection on Society's Oversight
Lyrics
You tell me what to love, tell me who to forget
You dictate what I should cherish and what I should disregard
Almighty dollar, tell me who to obey
The powerful influence of money dictates my obedience
Show me how to live, tell me how to behave
You demonstrate the way I should exist and the conduct I should follow
Cover me with you 'till there's no trace of me
Envelop me entirely until my identity is erased
To become somebody
To gain recognition as an individual
Turn me to nobody
Transform me into insignificance
Another ghost in your story
To be just another unnoticed figure in your narrative
Los invisibles te miran a ti
The invisible ones are observing you
When the comeback's a-comin'
When the return or resurgence is imminent
Feel your heartbeat's a-drummin'
Sense the rhythm of your heartbeat intensifying
For the ones you've forgotten
For those whom you have disregarded or left behind
Los invisibles seguimos aquí
The invisible ones continue to exist here
Built your city right over my head
You constructed your society directly above mine
Hoist up the flag, put a gun in my hand
Raise the symbol of power and arm me with a weapon
Man fearing color, sees the world black and white
A person, fearing differences, sees the world in extremes
Afraid of his shadow sleeps with one open eye
Fearful and vigilant, even in sleep
To become somebody
To achieve recognition as an individual
Turn me to nobody
Transformed into insignificance
Another ghost in your story
To be just another unnoticed figure in your narrative
Los invisibles te miran a ti
The invisible ones are observing you
When the comeback's a-comin'
When the return or resurgence is imminent
Feel your heartbeat's a-drummin'
Sense the rhythm of your heartbeat intensifying
For the ones you've forgotten
For those whom you have disregarded or left behind
Los invisibles seguimos aquí
The invisible ones continue to exist here
