Etikas Sobre Manido

Daniel F's song 'Etikas Sobre Manido' is a raw and unfiltered exploration of love, identity, and disillusionment. The lyrics reject conventional storytelling and poetic norms, opting instead for a candid and almost abrasive expression of personal truths. The song opens by dismissing the idea that it is a grand narrative or a surreal poem, setting the stage for a more grounded and gritty exploration of the artist's inner world. This rejection of traditional forms is a statement in itself, emphasizing the authenticity and rawness of the emotions being conveyed.

The lyrics delve into themes of unattainable words and distant songs, suggesting a sense of longing and frustration. The mention of 'moments-disfraces' and 'testimonios fugaces' points to fleeting experiences and transient testimonies, highlighting the ephemeral nature of certain emotions and memories. The repeated use of the word 'mierda' (shit) underscores a sense of disillusionment and perhaps self-deprecation, as the artist grapples with feelings of inadequacy and unfulfilled desires.

The song also touches on themes of unrequited love and emotional isolation. The lines 'Mil miradas sin besos, sin caricias ni amor' and 'Tus miradas, tu sonrisa se la obsekio a otro huevon' convey a sense of being overlooked and unappreciated. The artist's declaration that 'No es la musica mi vida/ni mi vida una canción' further emphasizes a disconnect between his art and his lived experience. The song culminates in a defiant rejection of societal expectations and norms, with the artist proclaiming '¡a la mierda todo!' This final outburst encapsulates the song's overarching theme of rejecting pretense and embracing one's true self, no matter how flawed or unconventional that self may be.
