Leviosá

The Struggle for Authenticity in a Superficial World

Blake's song 'Leviosá' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of personal struggles, authenticity, and the superficiality of modern society. The lyrics are a candid reflection of the artist's battles with mental health, societal expectations, and the music industry's pressures. Blake opens up about feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned, using vivid language to describe his state of mind, such as 'empastillado' (pilled up) and 'no siento el corazón' (I don't feel my heart). This imagery paints a picture of someone grappling with depression and the numbing effects of medication.

The song also delves into themes of self-reliance and resilience. Blake emphasizes that his success is self-made, achieved through years of hard work and dedication, often in less-than-ideal conditions ('con un micro de mierda, encerrao' en el salón' - with a shitty mic, locked in the living room). He criticizes those who seek fame and validation through social media, contrasting their superficial pursuits with his genuine passion for music. This critique extends to the broader societal tendency to value appearances over substance, as Blake asserts the importance of being true to oneself.

Blake's lyrics also touch on the emotional toll of his journey. He speaks of becoming 'frío' (cold) due to a lack of love and attention, and the protective 'caparazón' (shell) he has developed as a result. Despite these hardships, he remains defiant and committed to his craft, declaring that he will continue to create music that reflects his reality, not the sanitized version that others might prefer. The repeated refrain 'Es BLK, no leviosá' serves as a reminder of his identity and the magic he creates from his roots in Castilla, Spain, rather than conforming to external expectations.
