Resistol

Delirium (Hnd)'s song 'Resistol' delves deep into the harrowing experience of an individual consumed by societal neglect and personal despair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been metaphorically devoured by society, leaving them dismembered and desperate. The opening lines, 'Te devoro la sociedad / Desmembró todo tu ser,' suggest a brutal disintegration of the person's identity and spirit, highlighting the indifference of the world around them. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the line 'Gritaste desesperado / Pero nadie te escucho,' where the individual's cries for help go unheard, amplifying their sense of abandonment.

The recurring theme of seeking 'fragancias de perdición' (fragrances of perdition) symbolizes the individual's turn to substance abuse as a means of escape. These 'fragancias' are a metaphor for drugs or other addictive behaviors that temporarily numb the pain and create an illusion of relief. The lyrics 'Buscaras... inhalar mas / Fragancias de perdición' and 'Correrás... a buscar mas' reflect a relentless pursuit of these substances to bury fear, hunger, and resentment. This cycle of addiction is depicted as a labyrinth of endless suffering and frustration, trapping the individual in a dark, unending night.

The imagery of the 'obscura noche' (dark night) and the distorted reflections in mirrors further illustrate the protagonist's struggle with their identity and reality. The lines 'En los espejos / Veo un rostro pero no soy yo' convey a profound disconnection from oneself, a common experience for those battling addiction and mental anguish. The plea for time to 'revivir' (revive) and 'descansar' (rest) underscores the desperate need for respite from this torment. 'Resistol' is a poignant exploration of the destructive cycle of addiction and the deep-seated pain that drives individuals to seek solace in substances, ultimately leading to a loss of self and a perpetual state of delusion.
