Desclasificado literally means "declassified" or "unclassified," often used for documents. However, in this song, Ana Tijoux uses it in a profound and metaphorical way to describe a person.
She uses it to portray someone who feels like an outcast, not fitting into societal norms or categories. The protagonist is "desclasificado" because they are rejected, marginalized, and don't belong to any recognized social class or group, making it a powerful and unique descriptor for a human experience.
Ana Tijoux's "Desclasificado" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. She describes herself as "el ultimo eslabón de la pirámide" [the last link in the pyramid], feeling like the lowest rung, constantly looked down upon. It's a feeling of being "desparramado porque nunca seré aceptado" [scattered because I will never be accepted], where even education isn't accessible despite society saying "todo es posible" [everything is possible].
This song really hits home if you've ever felt silenced or like you don't fit in. Ana Tijoux talks about being "objeto de objeto de dilema" [object of object of dilemma] and not fitting into any "esquema" [scheme]. She's breaking new ground, even if it's just "partiendo piedra que suena a su manera" [breaking stone that sounds in its own way]. It's a blunt question about identity: "Cual es mi clase quien dicta las bases" [What is my class who dictates the bases]? She feels judged by her appearance, asking "Cual es la justicia cuando siempre se detacha" [What is justice when one is always detached]? The repetition of "Espere espere ya mas suscita / Ya no se si tal vez / En el limbo quizás fracase" [Wait wait it excites more / I don't know if maybe / In limbo perhaps I'll fail] really drives home the feeling of being stuck and unsure of the future, always at the bottom of that "pirámide" [pyramid].
