Pilade is a character from Greek tragedy; the only character who never speaks.
The song “PILADE” is inspired by a 1967 italian play, written by Pier Paolo Pasolini, in which there is Pilade (the character from the Greek tragedy) that after having lived most of his life in silence, without expressing himself, without talking at all, and standing for nothing, in a certain point he finally takes courage and comes forward to face his life, to fight for his rights, and his ideas.
I felt a connection with Pilade, because, he reminds me of my childhood experiences and traumas. I was very shy and quiet. I was afraid of communicate, and sharing my thoughts; I used to suffer a lot from family problems, when I was little, and I didn’t feel safe at home. I was always hiding that I was being bullied at school, never really reacting, and I was feeling uncomfortable with my skin color, and origins.
The song is about someone who is finally speaking up (“Ahora tu escucha mi voz, ahora tu escucha mi ruido…”), and breaking the chains he built on himself, or that someone built on him. Everyone should feel safe while expressing himself, without fears, and facing traumas (“Porque adentro yo tengo un monstruo…”).
Sometimes people need help, because they are into a black hole, in which is easy to experience depression, and live in the shadow. Any situation that leads you to hide and remain silent, must somehow be addressed, because no one should ever feel like this, without words, without truth, without a voice. We always have a soul that will make us react to our life, and being true to ourselves.

Hallyx – PILADE Lyrics
No me mires así
Yo nunca he hablado en toda mi vida
Pero hoy es el día en el que
Voy a hablar, hablar con el alma
Siempre he sido el último
Nadie me miró a los ojos
Yo siempre he sido el estúpido
El que no tenía palabra ni verdad
Ahora tu escucha mi voz
Ahora tu escucha mi ruido
Porque adentro yo tengo un monstruo
Que arranca y arranca
Y requiebra el alma
Campesino, cuéntame tu vida…
!Quien eres tu, quien eres tu, yo te admiro!
Campesino, cuéntame tu vida…
!Quien eres tu, quien eres tu, yo te admiro!
Yo no soy nadie
Yo no tengo identidad
¡Yo estoy en un grupo que no está!
Yo soy el que no existe
Yo soy el poeta que piensa
Yo soy el poeta que insiste
Ahora tu escucha mi voz
Ahora tu escucha mi ruido
Porque adentro yo tengo un monstruo
Que arranca y arranca
Y requiebra el alma
Campesino, cuéntame tu vida…
!Quien eres tu, quien eres tu, yo te admiro!
Campesino, cuéntame tu vida
Que rico estar aquí…
No me mires así
Yo nunca he hablado en toda mi vida
Pero hoy es el día en el que
Voy a hablar…
Hablar con el alma
