Ataques de Pánico

ASAN's song 'Ataques de Pánico' delves deep into the tumultuous experience of dealing with panic attacks and the overwhelming sense of anxiety that accompanies them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's struggle with insomnia, mental turmoil, and the constant battle against his own mind. The phrase 'mi mente es mi enemy' (my mind is my enemy) encapsulates the internal conflict that many people with anxiety disorders face, where their thoughts become their greatest adversary.

The song also touches on the theme of self-medication as a coping mechanism. ASAN mentions that he no longer visits the doctor and instead resorts to self-medicating, highlighting a common but dangerous response to mental health issues. This reflects a broader societal issue where individuals, due to stigma or lack of access to proper healthcare, turn to self-destructive habits in an attempt to manage their symptoms. The reference to 'demasiado candy shop' suggests an overindulgence in substances or behaviors that provide temporary relief but ultimately contribute to a downward spiral.

In addition to the personal struggle, 'Ataques de Pánico' also explores the impact of these mental health challenges on relationships. The artist expresses a sense of loss and longing, as well as the difficulty of maintaining connections when one's mental state is in disarray. The line 'Lejos de mí pa' mí estás bien' (Far from me, you're better off) indicates a recognition that his condition might be detrimental to those around him, adding another layer of isolation and despair. The song is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of living with anxiety and the desperate search for stability and peace.
