They say that nobody stops the hours
Let no one stop the waves
They say it's just you
When you talk to yourself and dialogue alone
They say you only control five percent
That the rest is destiny
They say that this divine universe has already traced the path
And today I look at the planet, my pale world
All with their reason and a whip
Ignorance at its peak
Corrupt judges, referees
Hollow heartbeats and palpituses
For dry, tired and arid habits
Right and left hungry for votes
Changing the discourse so quickly
I know their scams, the chaos we live in
We wanted to hate, to divide each other
Being crows instead of blackbirds
Surrender to the boss, shut up and serve him
Guilty do it
We the accomplices for allowing it
Falling asleep in an easy sleep
While neo-Nazis sing their hymns
Though my garments are torn
I prefer the plains of Alaska
Far from the dough is enough
That between expensive masks rots and gets stuck
They scratch the wound and it hurts, of course
The hours in unemployment queues
And greedy anchored to golden hoops
They are always under the cover of the most expensive lighthouse
How sad the shooting in Kabul
The blood staining the cheerful birch
How sad the sky is, so sad and blue
How sad the lazy and gangstery politician
How sad to be born in Mosul, in Darfur, Palestine
Terror is routine
How sad to kill the archangel he loves
To free the murderous beast
I paint my days calmly (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Looking his hatred in the face preventing it from burning (exodus)
I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their clutches (exodus)
I paint my days calmly (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Looking his hatred in the face preventing it from burning (exodus)
I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their clutches (exodus)
They say that God has left tired and does not return
That nothing bites us
They say honor is lost
Touching the germs on a green paper
They say the Earth boils
Between coltan, diamond and oil wars
They say there are wolves and hyenas
Hunting hundreds of prey from the capitol
We had it all
Technology brings the world at your fingertips
Pornography and gambling
Hypocrisy today is the new cancer
The prison of the ego I have seen
How easy to steal and be smart
I insist on loving the different
Holding the brother's hand
And get him out of his labyrinth in a hurry
Everyone is murmuring prejudices
They keep their vices in trunks
At the service of the ruin and its fallacy
Of a democracy facing the precipice
You will be worth it if you give them benefits
This is the great circus of leisure
Food that makes you sick and pills that cure
Secure profits for your business
I have nostalgia for meadows and valleys
Asthma on the streets exhausts me
They order you to play and streets
Until you desmallen and explode with each defeat
That you pay the fee, that you are masoca
An idiot patriot, his docile pet
Let you lick his boots, let you make the ball to the king
And obey his law or he scourges you
How horrible the scary drops in Aleppo
How horrible ghettos
How horrible the blindfold of others
Who observes and stays so still
How horrible to die in Caracas, Sudan or Mecca
Pain squeezes us
How horrible to feel it knowing
That the only homeland I have is my entire planet
I paint my days calmly (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Looking his hatred in the face preventing it from burning (exodus)
I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their clutches (exodus)
I paint my days calmly (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Looking his hatred in the face preventing it from burning (exodus)
I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their clutches (exodus)
They say that nobody stops the hours
Let no one stop the waves
They say it's just you
When you talk to yourself and dialogue alone
They say you only control five percent
That the rest is destiny
They say that this divine universe has already traced the path

látigo — whip

Látigo translates to "whip". It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word in a song, immediately grabbing attention with its strong imagery.

In the lyrics, Nach uses it metaphorically: "Todos con su razón y un látigo" (Everyone with their reason and a whip). This suggests that people not only hold their own beliefs but also use them to control, punish, or impose their will on others, highlighting a critical view of society's conflicts and power dynamics.

"Éxodo" is Nach's protest against a world he sees running on greed, war, and cruelty. He lists what's broken one by one: corrupt courts, hollow politicians, wars fought over oil and diamonds, a media that numbs instead of informs, and a democracy that only serves whoever pays.

Against all that, the chorus is his answer: paint your days with calm, let peace be your weapon, let your own light burn bright without turning to hatred. "Éxodo" (Exodus) is his word for that choice — not literally leaving, but refusing to let the world's cruelty become his own.

The song closes on a wider, almost planetary view: whether the tragedy happens in Kabul, Aleppo, Caracas, or Sudan, it's still happening to us, because the only country he really belongs to is the whole planet.
