La Vida que Malas Es

091's song 'La Vida que Malas Es' delves into the struggles and disillusionments of life. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who views life as a race they were never meant to win. Despite their efforts, they find themselves unable to reach their goals, seeking solace in the comfort of a friend's shoulder. This sentiment is echoed by a friend who acknowledges the harshness of life, suggesting that even the solace found in wine is not enough to cure the deeper wounds inflicted by life's challenges.

The chorus, 'ehh, la vida, ehh que mala es,' serves as a poignant reminder of the song's central theme: the inherent difficulties and disappointments of life. The imagery of flowers continuing to perfume the air and dogs barking contrasts with the human experience of waiting in vain for miracles, symbolized by the hope for manna instead of fire. This juxtaposition highlights the futility and frustration of human endeavors, as people follow signs and stars only to find themselves going nowhere, dreaming of progress without actually moving forward.

The song also touches on the idea of divine intervention, with the phrase 'Dios aprieta pero no ahoga' suggesting that while God may test us, He does not completely abandon us. However, the lyrics also reflect a sense of inherited failure, as the protagonist is told they are no better than their father, likened to bad wheat producing bad flour and, consequently, bad bread. This metaphor underscores the cyclical nature of hardship and the difficulty of breaking free from predetermined paths.

'La Vida que Malas Es' by 091 is a raw and honest exploration of life's struggles, capturing the essence of human frustration, disillusionment, and the search for meaning amidst adversity.
