Es sólo la necesidad

Doctor Deseo's song 'Es sólo la necesidad' delves into the raw and primal forces that drive human behavior. The lyrics open with a declaration that faith is not required for movement; instead, it is the sheer necessity of being alive that propels action. This sentiment is underscored by the phrase 'la mala leche como el respirar,' which translates to 'bad temper like breathing,' suggesting that negative emotions are as natural and essential as breathing itself. The artist rejects societal pressures and norms, symbolized by the 'plato de la imbecilidad' (plate of stupidity) that is in vogue, asserting a personal autonomy and resistance to conformist expectations. This resistance is framed as a matter of 'pura higiene' (pure hygiene), implying that it is a necessary act of self-preservation and cleanliness to stand against the powers that be.

The song then shifts to a more intimate and introspective tone, where the narrator describes feeling like a tightrope walker, balancing between their own dreams and those of another. This metaphor highlights the delicate and precarious nature of human relationships and desires. The mention of 'hermana curiosidad' (sister curiosity) suggests a playful and exploratory approach to life, where opening new doors and seeking new experiences is seen as a 'buen juego' (good game). This curiosity and willingness to explore are essential components of the narrator's existence.

The lyrics also touch on the complex emotions of love and hate, both towards oneself and another. The narrator admits to frequently hating both themselves and the object of their affection, yet acknowledges an undeniable need for this 'niña imposible' (impossible girl). This paradoxical relationship is marked by a struggle to find the right words to express deep feelings, encapsulated in the repeated refrain 'es solo la necesidad' (it's just the necessity). This phrase serves as a reminder that all these emotions and actions are driven by the fundamental need to feel alive and connected.
