THIS IS A LATIN ACOUSTIC POP-ROCK SONG THAT I WROTE A YEAR AGO ABOUT THE RESISTANCE TO BECOME A MERE CONSUMER AND A HATEFUL SOLDIER ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AN ALTERNATIVE TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS INTO ENGLISH IS AS FOLLOWS: The extremist and the influencer The fake leader and the TV news They want to stir up trouble In every quiet corner of my mind So I’ll choose one side In so many wars that benefit others With a guitar Instead of a smartphone My biggest banner Is just a song And I run in a zigzag Like in a slalom Tired of seeing So many simpleton gurus If I’m going through a rough patch My inner struggle rages on Peace doesn’t come to me Through the glow of screens Nor can ChatGPT Comfort A troubled soul In the ranks of the masses Attacked daily By Instagram Reels If I want to find empathy I look for real people Let them call me as many times as they want But I won’t join their battles And I’ll play dumb So I don’t dance to that tune It’s not in my nature To raise a hundred flags And let them manipulate my voice In the struggle Against the tide I just want to be myself Al Pacino said it Playing the Devil And frankly, I agree with him That vanity, Among a thousand sins, Has always earned His favor If I succumb to flattery At least I say thank you Let them call me as many times as they want But I won’t join their battles And I’ll play dumb So I don’t dance to that tune It’s just not in my nature To raise a hundred flags And let them manipulate my voice In the struggle Against the tide I just want to be myself Let them call me as many times as they want But I won’t fall for their lies And I’ll play dumb So I don’t dance to that tune It’s not in my nature To raise a hundred flags And be just a consumer In the struggle Against the tide I want them to let me be myself more
