Mal Humor

Bbs Paranoicos' song 'Mal Humor' delves into the destructive nature of a persistently bad mood and its impact on relationships and environments. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone whose cold mind and heart create a toxic atmosphere, breaking the peace with their mere presence. The phrase 'escupes sapos y culebras' (you spit toads and snakes) is a powerful metaphor for the venomous words and negativity that this person spreads, making it clear that their bad mood is not just a personal issue but a social one that affects everyone around them.

The song also touches on the theme of isolation. The line 'cada vez más lejos pero así es mejor' (each time further away but it's better this way) suggests that the person’s bad mood has driven them away from others, and perhaps this distance is seen as a relief. The imagery of red eyes and zero comprehension further emphasizes the lack of understanding and empathy, making it impossible for meaningful communication to occur. This emotional distance leads to a sense of loss and decay, as highlighted by the lines 'y da rabia ver que se echó a perder todo lo demás' (and it makes you angry to see that everything else has gone to waste).

The recurring phrase 'lo sepulto' (I bury it) signifies a desire to put an end to this negativity, likening the situation to a funeral where the dark mood is laid to rest. The song suggests that this bad mood is like a dark cloud that grows heavier and more oppressive over time, affecting not just the person but everyone around them. The comparison to a funeral underscores the gravity of the situation, indicating that the bad mood has killed the joy and light in the environment, leaving only darkness and decay in its wake.
