Humanidad (Kastiello)

Axel Fiks' song 'Humanidad (Kastiello)' delves into the complexities of self-love and human connection. The lyrics open with a candid admission: 'No sos perfecta / Y no me gusta la humanidad,' which translates to 'You are not perfect / And I don't like humanity.' This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the singer's struggle with both personal and collective imperfections. Despite these flaws, the presence of a significant other becomes a catalyst for self-improvement and acceptance, as highlighted in the lines, 'Pero con vos / Estoy aprendiendo a quererme más,' meaning 'But with you / I am learning to love myself more.'

The song further explores the interplay between self-love and love for others. 'Cuando me quiero, te quiero más / Cuando nos quiero, la humanidad me hace llorar,' or 'When I love myself, I love you more / When I love us, humanity makes me cry,' suggests that the act of loving oneself enhances the ability to love others. However, this newfound love also brings a heightened awareness of the world's imperfections, making the singer more sensitive to the flaws of humanity. This duality creates a poignant emotional landscape where personal growth and societal disillusionment coexist.

The recurring phrase 'Que buena que sos,' which translates to 'How good you are,' serves as a refrain that celebrates the partner's qualities in various everyday moments—sleeping, laughing, walking. These simple yet profound observations underscore the idea that love can be found in the mundane, and it is these small moments that make life meaningful. Through this lens, the song suggests that while humanity as a whole may be flawed, individual connections can offer a sense of purpose and joy, making the journey of self-discovery worthwhile.
