about

[Daniel E.]

“Heroes” is my attempt at a song for revolt inspired by the hardcore scene and local band (to us) Raiser, who I think have a very effective way of empowering the listener and calling for direct action. In this case I tried to write about the Spanish Transition to Democracy (started in 1975, after 35 years of dictatorship), or more accurately about how the illusion of a democracy was sold with the direct support of the major remaining Francoist powers, and how this was widely accepted as a revolution. As a borderline post-millenial who has grown up in Democratic Spain this Transition period was interesting to me, and the review that Javier Cercas presents in his book “Anatomy of a Moment” (centered on three key figures of this period) had quite the effect on me. My only real contribution was to try and put us citizens at the same level as the political elite that Cercas discusses by means of direct action.

lyrics

The one who is able to forget
The principles that govern him
Will have the honor of being
The hero of (the) withdrawal.

In search of a difficult
Cohabitation
The hero of (the) withdrawal
He will never be remembered with pride.

All of us are being
Just spectators.
Passively observing
Everything.

We are becoming the generation
Remembered as
The Heroes
Of Withdrawal.

With no valor to act
The Heroes of Withdrawal.
Sellers of our future
Remembered never with pride.

Leaving everything we can be
In the hands of others
Incapable of dealing with it
Only able to sell it.

(Our) future sold
To a power that is based on
Feeding on our conformism
And our lack of awareness.

Heroes of Withdrawal
With no value to act.

The Heroes of Withdrawal
That is what we are.
