Ansiedad

Carla Morrison's song 'Ansiedad' delves deep into the harrowing experience of living with anxiety. The lyrics poignantly capture the suffocating and paralyzing effects of this mental health condition. Morrison begins by expressing her inability to perform basic functions like speaking, breathing, and confronting her issues, highlighting the overwhelming nature of anxiety. The repetition of 'no puedo' (I can't) emphasizes the sense of helplessness and frustration that often accompanies anxiety disorders.

The song also explores the internal conflict and self-doubt that anxiety brings. Morrison describes losing her truth and ceasing to shine, a metaphor for losing one's sense of self and confidence. The 'mil voces' (thousand voices) and the subconscious attacking her symbolize the intrusive thoughts and internal battles that plague those with anxiety. This internal struggle is further illustrated by the lines 'mi mente en el juego contra mí' (my mind in the game against me) and 'un ruido interminable grita en mí' (an endless noise screams in me), painting a vivid picture of the relentless mental turmoil.

Despite the bleak depiction of anxiety, the song takes a hopeful turn towards the end. Morrison begins to affirm her ability to overcome her struggles, repeating 'y yo puedo' (and I can). This shift signifies a reclaiming of power and a belief in the possibility of healing. The imagery of the sun shining through the storm represents hope and the potential for recovery. By the end of the song, Morrison's repeated affirmations suggest a newfound strength and determination to face her anxiety head-on.

'Ansiedad' is a raw and honest portrayal of the challenges of living with anxiety, but it also offers a message of hope and resilience. Morrison's candid lyrics and emotive delivery make this song a powerful anthem for anyone struggling with mental health issues.
