Ansiedad

ASAN's song 'Ansiedad' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and mental struggles associated with anxiety. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's internal battle, where he grapples with feelings of despair, isolation, and the relentless pursuit of peace. The opening lines, 'Espero lo que no va a llegar' (I wait for what will not come), set the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of hopelessness and the futile longing for something unattainable. This sentiment is further emphasized by the desire to escape reality and find eternal distraction, a common coping mechanism for those dealing with anxiety.

The song's narrative continues to explore the artist's struggle with his inner demons, as he describes living in a storm within a glacier, a metaphor for feeling trapped in a cold, unyielding environment. The walls, described as mirrors, reflect his negative self-image and amplify his distress. The recurring theme of seeking solace in substances, such as 'jarabe para la tos' (cough syrup) and 'Henny con lima limón' (Hennessy with lime and lemon), underscores the desperation to numb the pain and find temporary relief from the overwhelming anxiety.

Despite the bleakness, there is a glimmer of self-awareness and resilience in the lyrics. ASAN acknowledges his role as both his own downfall and savior, recognizing that true salvation must come from within. The repeated lines, 'La ansiedad me mata lento' (Anxiety kills me slowly) and 'Tengo que terminar esto' (I have to end this), reflect a determination to confront and overcome his struggles before they consume him entirely. The song ultimately portrays a poignant and raw depiction of living with anxiety, capturing the complexity of emotions and the ongoing battle for inner peace.
