Dragoner’s “Tiempos De Antaño” plunges us into a chilling tableau of “bygone times,” where the shadow of religious oppression still looms large. The verses paint a bleak landscape—no human warmth, only the inferno of personal pain—as the narrator walks through metaphorical thorns sown by robed “saints.” These self-proclaimed saviors promise redemption, yet their salvation is a trap: they demand faith and trust only to repay it with lies and envy.
At its core, the song is a fiery critique of spiritual hypocrisy. By repeating the exchange—“Dame tu fe y te daré mentiras”—Dragoner exposes how power can corrupt sacred institutions and turn pure belief into a weapon. The refrain, invoking the Bible “en el nombre del Señor,” reminds listeners that charismatic leaders can twist holy words into instruments of control. Ultimately, the track urges us to question blind devotion, value genuine compassion over ritual, and reclaim our own moral compass from those who would exploit it.
