DIME

In 'DIME,' Doctore delves into the profound themes of identity, mortality, and the quest for meaning. The song opens with a sense of existential confusion, as the artist grapples with his own identity and the inevitability of death. The line 'Cuando el Sol se esconde yo apago mi luz' metaphorically suggests a withdrawal from life’s vibrancy, hinting at a deep-seated melancholy. This sets the tone for a reflective journey where Doctore seeks reassurance about his existence and legacy, asking repeatedly to be told that he will not be forgotten.

The lyrics are rich with metaphors and cultural references, such as the nod to Canserbero, a Venezuelan rapper known for his introspective and often dark lyrics. By quoting Canserbero, Doctore aligns himself with a tradition of artists who confront the harsh realities of life and death. The recurring imagery of death, such as 'He soñao' con mi nicho desde que era un muchacho,' underscores a lifelong preoccupation with mortality. This is juxtaposed with moments of defiance and a desire to leave a lasting impact, as seen in 'No quiero morir, no quiero morir / Sin dejar un legado, mi energía.'

The song also explores the tension between external appearances and internal struggles. Doctore describes feeling 'roto' inside despite appearing fine on the outside, a common theme in discussions about mental health. The use of alcohol as a coping mechanism, 'me emborracho el finde,' highlights a self-destructive pattern that many can relate to. Yet, amidst the darkness, there is a yearning for connection and understanding, as he urges others to speak their truths before it’s too late.

'DIME' is a poignant reflection on the human condition, capturing the universal fears of being forgotten and the desire to find meaning in a transient world. Doctore’s raw and honest lyrics invite listeners to confront their own fears and aspirations, making the song a powerful anthem for those grappling with similar existential questions.
