Poetics

The human being is evil by nature, maybe the characteristic that everyone knows from Dark Romanticism. There used to be a Mexican band that almost in every song they talked about pure hate and misfortune in love, this band was called Panda. The main vocalist of the band, who is Jose Madero, is the one that suffered all of this experiences and often says that people are just evil by nature. There is a Panda disc in specific that Jose talks about the negative aspects that human beings have, about all how evil they are and the things they do to show. There is a song in specific that made me think more that it should have, this song is called “Amnistía”. The exact translation of this word is “Amnesty” (according to Google Translate) and means the apology of a crime. This song talks about a Nazi after the 2nd World War, who feels very bad for everything he did and regrets everything he did to the jews. There is a line that goes “I will manifest that lately, indecent things I committed, years ago, they have returned, and they are tormenting me”, here you can see how this soldier is regretting everything he has done, he is obviously trying to be a GOOD person. If he is trying to become a good person, it means that he was just evil and did not care about anything or anybody else. Another song that I think talks about the pure evil of people is “Solo a Terceros”. This song talks about a girl that cheated on his boyfriend, and the boyfriend  just talks about the the he feel towards this girl. There are no Romantic characteristics in this song but it can be inferred that the girl was just evil with this guy and instead of breaking up with him, she just broke his heart, cheated on him, and because of her bad luck he caught her.
