Enemy

Bastian Cortes' song "Enemy" delves into the emotional turmoil and inner conflict experienced when one feels surrounded by deceit and opposition. The lyrics open with a sense of disorientation, as the protagonist is awakened by a sound that sends his mind wandering. This sets the stage for a narrative of betrayal and mistrust, where the world that once seemed supportive now appears hostile. The line "Di la espalda al mundo que sonrío cuando me giré" suggests a moment of realization and disillusionment, where the protagonist turns away from a world that smiles falsely behind his back.

The recurring theme of being told one is good, only to find out it's a lie, underscores the protagonist's struggle with insincerity and betrayal. The chorus, with its repeated lines "¡Oh! Miseria aquí, ahora todos vienen en contra de mí," highlights the feeling of being besieged by adversaries. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the plea for someone to pray for him, indicating a deep need for support and understanding in a world that seems to have turned against him.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's emotions intensify, culminating in a declaration of resilience and defiance. The lines "Quieren tratar de bajar mi escalar a la cima / Ya no pueden parar a este astronauta" metaphorically depict the protagonist as an unstoppable force, likening his journey to that of an astronaut reaching for the stars. Despite the overwhelming opposition, he remains determined to rise above and prove his worth. The song closes with a resigned acceptance of his role as the 'enemy,' acknowledging that he will never be seen as a saint, but embracing his strength and resolve to face whatever comes his way.
