Tatsulok is a song that tries to tell Totoy to dodge bullets, bombs, and the like and also to make a change in the triangle that has been plaguing the Philippines for so long ” it is a song of spreading awareness about what has always been there with all its obviousness and yet is so elusive unless recognition of its existence is made. Tatsulok Lyrics: Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo / Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo / Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan / At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw / Totoy. Lyrics to 'Tatsulok' by Bamboo: Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw Totoy makinig ka, wag kang magpa-gabi.
Basing from the title, you already know that it is about the Marxist perspective. The song is about the current status of the Philippines basing it from the people’s social status or class. Tatsulok is triangle in English, which is the model the Karl Marx used to make us understand the social classes in a capitalist world.
By just listening to the entire song, you know what is already the objective of the song, which is to let the Philippine government know how the people react towards the harsh treatment of the elites. The part of the song that hit my attention was the part that Bamboo stated; ”Hindi pula’t dilaw tunay na magkalaban Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan Hangga’t marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman.” It simply means that it has been the elites who has been ruling the Philippines for a long time and that is why changes for the mass never occurred because the change is only for the elites.
TATSULOK was the song of the young, composed and performed by young band Buklod during the political transition of the Philippines from oppressive Martial Law to the restoration of democracy sparked with the murder of Ninoy Aquino in 1983.

In the end of the song, Bamboo stated; “Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok, Hindi matatapos itong gulo.”“ It simply means that as long as the elites are ruling, the continuous problems will go on until the status quo changes. In short, it is about the Marxist perspective that says that equality will only happen if capitalism will be stopped.
