Apagame

Cyclo's song 'Apágame' delves into the emotional turmoil of wanting to disconnect from overwhelming thoughts and feelings. The repeated plea to 'apágame,' which translates to 'turn me off,' reflects a deep desire to escape from the mental and emotional burdens that the artist is experiencing. This sentiment is echoed throughout the song, emphasizing a sense of resignation and acceptance that whatever will happen is beyond his control. The repetition of the phrase 'que lo que tenga que ser ya será' (what will be, will be) further underscores this theme of surrendering to fate.

In the verses, Cyclo paints a picture of personal and artistic struggle. He describes starting from nothing and facing criticism for his new style, highlighting the challenges of staying true to oneself in the face of external pressures. The metaphor of being a 'muñeco de lego' (Lego doll) suggests that he is a composite of various influences, yet he remains unique and authentic. Despite not achieving mainstream success, he prides himself on delivering genuine messages rather than superficial content. This authenticity is a core aspect of his identity, even if it means not fitting into conventional molds.

The song also touches on themes of change and loss. Cyclo reflects on how things have changed since he 'flew away' and returned to find everything different. The lines '¿Cómo sentir sin dolor? ¿cómo sufrir por amor?' (How to feel without pain? How to suffer for love?) reveal a longing to numb emotional pain, preferring to 'turn off' rather than face the hurt. The final verses address a relationship that can no longer continue as it once did, acknowledging that it must end for the well-being of both parties. This acceptance of change and the inevitability of endings is a poignant conclusion to the song's exploration of emotional exhaustion and the need for release.
