Autos De Choque Lyrics in English Bunbury

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Autos De Choque by Bunbury from Spanish to English.
Who are you going to believe?
That man or your own eyes?
Broken mirrors
The tam-tam and those who make it sound
The drums
You don't seem to understand
After all
They give you almost nothing
Baits and placebos and a precipice
That leads to a dump
They make us sweat blood
In bumper cars without a steering wheel
Moralizing nonsense
Morals vigilantes
Etiquette manuals
In their wake they leave
A generational crop
Of damaged people
Connected to their own reflection
They make us sweat blood
In bumper cars without a steering wheel
Moralizing nonsense
Morals vigilantes
Etiquette manuals
We only have one purpose
A purpose that is
Beyond their domains and ravings
A gagged bunker
To disappear without leaving a trace
They make us sweat blood
In bumper cars without a steering wheel
Moralizing nonsense
Morals vigilantes
Etiquette manuals
They won't stop us
With miserable loot
The things that are important
Are beyond their reach and they can't understand its language

SONG MEANING

Fasten your seatbelt for a ride in a bumper car without a steering wheel! In “Autos De Choque,” Bunbury invites us into a chaotic amusement-park metaphor where society’s leaders pound on drums, wave moral manuals and try to steer our lives for us. The lyrics paint those power-holders as vigilantes de las costumbres who hand out nothing but “bait and placebos,” leading the masses toward a trash-heap of broken mirrors and broken identities. Their goal? To keep us dizzy, sweating “blood” in endless collisions while they preach empty rules.

Yet the song is fiercely defiant. Bunbury reminds us that there is one purpose that lies beyond their domain: the right to disappear from their game, to reclaim freedom and meaning they cannot touch or even understand. “Autos De Choque” becomes an anthem for anyone who refuses to believe second-hand truths, smashes the mirrors of manipulation, and drives off the carnival lot on their own terms.
