Monstruos (está bn estar mal)

Bruses' song 'Monstruos (está bn estar mal)' delves deep into the struggles of living with mental health issues, using vivid metaphors and raw emotion to convey the experience. The opening lines, 'No sé que se siente tener serotonina / Ni melatonina, quiero un poco de morfina,' highlight a yearning for relief from the pain and a sense of normalcy that seems out of reach. The mention of serotonin and melatonin, chemicals associated with happiness and sleep, underscores the singer's struggle with depression and insomnia, while the desire for morphine suggests a need for escape from the emotional pain.

The song's chorus, 'Nadie tiene puta idea de lo que es vivir con monstruos,' translates to 'No one has any fucking idea what it's like to live with monsters.' This powerful metaphor of 'monsters' represents the internal battles and mental health issues that torment the individual. The imagery of these monsters causing physical and emotional pain, such as 'te sacan los ojos, te dan malestar estomacal,' paints a vivid picture of the debilitating effects of these struggles. The repetition of 'está bien estar mal' (it's okay to be not okay) serves as a comforting reminder that it's normal to feel this way and that seeking help is a valid response.

Bruses also touches on the generational aspect of mental health, singing, 'Somos la generación en busca de atención / Y quien vino a reparar los daños que la tuya nos dejó.' This line criticizes the previous generation for the emotional damage inflicted and highlights the current generation's quest for healing and understanding. The song's raw honesty and relatable themes resonate deeply with listeners who have faced similar struggles, making it a powerful anthem for mental health awareness and acceptance.

The song's structure and lyrical content reflect Bruses' unique musical style, which often blends raw emotion with catchy melodies. Her ability to articulate complex emotions in a relatable way has garnered her a dedicated following, and 'Monstruos (está bn estar mal)' is a testament to her talent for addressing important issues through her music.
