collapse icon

La canción "Blacksteel: in the hour of chaos" interpretada por Rage Against the Machine es una oda a la resistencia y desafío hacia un sistema opresivo. La letra narra la historia de un protagonista que recibe una carta del gobierno pidiéndole unirse al ejército, pero él se niega rotundamente a ser parte de un sistema que nunca le ha apoyado. Se siente enojado y traicionado por un país que no valora ni entiende la experiencia de los afroamericanos, planteando el sentimiento de injusticia y falta de equidad que prevalece en la sociedad.

La lírica de la canción refleja la realidad para muchos individuos marginados que sufren discriminación sistemática. El narrador se ve encarcelado injustamente, expresando su frustración ante las escasas oportunidades para las personas negras en Estados Unidos. Rage Against the Machine emplea lenguaje crudo y directo para plantear una crítica abierta al racismo estructural presente en el país.

La metáfora del protagonista como "rebelde" simboliza la lucha constante contra la opresión y el deseo de libertad. La canción muestra cómo el artista adorna con orgullo su condición de persona rebelde dispuesta a hacer lo necesario para desafiar un sistema corrupto. La narrativa describe un intento fallido por escapar y los actos violentos como último recurso para resistir a la autoridad opresiva.

En comparación con otros trabajos de Rage Against the Machine, esta canción destaca por su enfoque específico en las injusticias raciales y sociales presentes en América. La energía punk rock combinada con letras políticas sensibles hacen que esta pieza sea emblemática dentro del repertorio del grupo.

No se sabe con certeza cuál fue la inspiración exacta detrás de esta canción, pero es evidente que surge de una profunda indignación ante las inequidades sociales y raciales existentes en Estados Unidos. A través de su música, Rage Against the Machine busca mostrar realidades incómodas y confrontar al público con problemáticas urgentes que requieren atención y acción.

"Blacksteel: in the hour of chaos" es una canción explosiva e incendiaria que retumba como un grito de protesta contra el sistema establecido. Su letra desgarradora invita a reflexionar sobre las realidades enfrentadas por comunidades marginadas y subraya la importancia de alzar la voz frente a las injusticias sociales arraigadas en nuestra sociedad.

I got a letter from the government
the other day
i opened and read it
it said they were suckers
they wanted me for their army or whatever
picture me given' a damn - i said never
here is a land that never gave a damn
about a brother like me and myself
because they never did
i wasn't wit' it, but just that very
it occured to me
the suckers had authority
cold sweatin' as i dwell in my cell
how long has it been?
they got me sittin' in the state pen
i gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
i contemplated a plan on the cell floor
i'm not a fugitive on the run
but a brother like me begun - to be another one
public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
to criticize me some crime - never the less
they could not understand that i'm a black man
and i could never be a veteran
on the strength, the situation's unreal
i got a raw deal, so i'm goin' for the steel
they got me rottin' in the time that i'm servin'
tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
the same motherfucker got us livin' is his hell
you have to realize - what its a form of slavery
organized under a swarm of devils
straight up - word'em up on the level
the reasons are several, most of them federal
here is my plan anyway and i say
i got gusto, but only some i can trust - yo
some do a bid from 1 to 10
and i never did, and plus i never been
i'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
cell block and locked - i never clock it y'all
'cause time and time again time
they got me servin' to those and to them
i'm not a citizen
but ever when i catch a c-o
sleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
on the strength, i'ma tell you the deal
i got nothin' to lose
'cause i'm goin' for the steel
you know i caught a c-o
fallin' asleep on death row
i grabbed his gun - then he did what i said so
and everyman's got served
along with the time they served
decency was deserved
to understand my demands
i gave a warnin' - i wanted the governor, y'all
and plus the warden to know
that i was innocent -
because i'm militant
posing a threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the government
my plan said i had to get out and break north
just like with oliver's neck
i had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
they couldn't do nuthin'
we had a force to instigate a prison riot
this is what it takes for peace
so i just took the piece
black for black inside time to cut the leash
freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out
6 c-os we got we ought to put their head out
but i'll give 'em a chance, cause i'm civilized
as for the rest of the world, they can't realize
a cell is hell - i'm a rebel so i rebel
between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
got a woman c-o to call me a copter
she tried to get away, and i popped her
twice, right
now who wanna get nice?
i had 6 c-os, now it's 5 to go
and i'm serious - call me delirious
but i'm still a captive
i gotta rap this
time to break as time grows intense
i got the steel in my right hand
now i'm lookin' for the fence
i ventured into the courtyard
followed by 52 brothers
bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
goin' out with a bang
ready to bang out
but power from the sky
and from the tower shots rang out
a high number of dose - yes
and some came close
figure i trigger my steel
stand and hold my post
this is what i mean - an anti-nigger machine
if i come out alive and then they won't - come clean
and then i threw up my steel bullets - flew up
blew up, who
what, who, the bazooka was who
and to my rescue, it was the s1ws
secured my getaway, so i just gotaway
the joint broke, from the black smoke
then they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer
'cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
