Madurar

In 'Madurar,' 6 Voltios delves into the emotional turmoil and existential angst that often accompany the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The song opens with a raw confession of feeling alone and foolish, yet the protagonist fears reaching a point of emotional numbness. This sets the stage for a narrative about the struggle to mature and the internal and external pressures that come with it.

The lyrics highlight the protagonist's realization that time has passed without significant personal growth, a fact that is hard to accept. The line 'Se pasó el tiempo y no maduraste' (Time passed and you didn't mature) encapsulates this sentiment. Despite efforts to find meaning and reasons to continue, the protagonist finds that nothing seems to hold their interest anymore. This sense of ennui and disillusionment is a common theme in the journey to adulthood, where the search for purpose can often feel futile.

A particularly poignant moment in the song is the reference to the voice of the protagonist's father, urging them to grow up. This external pressure to mature is juxtaposed with the internal struggle of feeling like the 'same idiot' despite nearing adulthood. The lyrics 'Ya vas a ser mayor de edad y sigues siendo el mismo idiota' (You're about to be of age and you're still the same idiot) reflect the harsh self-criticism and societal expectations that weigh heavily on the protagonist. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, acknowledging past mistakes and the difficulty of change, encapsulated in the lines 'Nunca supiste cuando cambiar' (You never knew when to change) and 'Nunca supiste cuando parar' (You never knew when to stop).

'6 Voltios' uses 'Madurar' to paint a vivid picture of the complexities and challenges of growing up. The song resonates with anyone who has felt the weight of expectations and the struggle to find their path in life.
