Can't tell if I'm back or not, but after listening to some band of the youth in my country this came to me as a response

I hear how the kids are singing
The Mac Demarco way
I know I'm too far now
From the things they say
I want the darkness and the strife
The tales of broken lifes
Where the lost tell their tales
Of poverty and distress

Can't make the verse-chorus-verse
The playful “I love you babe”
I'm deep in the ditch of the lonesome
Where the light has no reach
I want the warlike stories
And the caress of death
When the stakes are high
And the losses even more

The happysad congregation
It's just an island in this town
Añemoseta ñande ipykuera-pe (Let's sing to our ancestors)
Che kuerai la Je T'aime mon amour (I'm tired of the "I love you my love")
I want the revolution alive
To scream “We shall overcome”
That tomorrow the hunger can be over
And take the riches for ourselves

You can sing bout kittens
Of walking in the clouds of joy
It's not the way for me to follow
Gimme some truths my friends
I want the victory
Against colorados at last
I want to conquer apathy
I want to sing the blues again

What are the colorados, and why are you against it/them?
It sounds like you feel acutely some collective suffering, as if you're experiencing the injustice in society, and you can't ignore what you've been exposed to, you cannot ride a unicorn.
It's your way to say how much you care.

The rulling party of my country, over 70 years in power, just 4 years without them, and many disgraces with them. Corruption, social inequality, porverty, a political caste so imbecile and crude. THrough them we have one of the most inequal countries in the world, and one of the worst distribution of lands.

They took out Fernando Lugo(A leftist but also another corrupt wanker(my country's politics are quite troublesome)) with an impeachment without proof of misdeeds on the 2012 Curuguay's massacre...

"Since the early years of the new millennium landless peasants fight for their land, which was in part at least given in the past decades to influential and wealthy men and women of the political upper classes of Paraguay. The last clashes occurred in June 2012 and cost the lives of at least eleven peasants and six policemen"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfredo_Stroessner

And this guy, 35 years of the worst kind of dictatorship, leaving our country in the shitter, and even after he got kicked out, it was one of his generals that became the next president, basically, even after 30 years of "democracy", it's still the same colorado party rulling, the same colorado party, ******* **** up.

And now one of the kids of Stroessner's right hand is our president, and it's a complete wanker of the highest order.

Just recently, the congress rejected higher taxes for the also ruling soy industry, ganadery, the tobacco, and a "charity tax" of 5% to the richest people, and make like 8 billion dollars in debt to placate the massive hunger and the fall of the many small to medium businesses that are slowly going broke with the covid-19.

Luckily somehow, even the massive amount of money wasted on overpricing masks, very little in building hospitals, ventilators, with the apocalyptic Brazil next to us, we have only 11 dead and just about 800 infected, but the future is bleak with all the debt accumulated and very little taxing and economy movement, the next few years will be very ****** .

That's more or less the thing, and what I'm complaining also, is the lack of social music, the mainstream music of the youth is the of indie pop kind

There's more diversity of music here than ever, but too much of the softer side, very escapist, too disitant from our reality, and I think my country needs also more "in your face" music in the forefront... I worry too much of the future.

There, I'd like to explain it better, but I kinda loss a bit of my english expression.

Hope it cleared out things out for you

See ya soon

Cheers

Thanks for giving detail. I didn't know it was political. I love it even more now. I, too, want to conquer apathy and sing the blues again.
