Egohisteria

Enjambre's song 'Egohisteria' delves into the themes of narcissism and self-centeredness, painting a vivid picture of an individual consumed by their own ego. The lyrics describe a person who is indifferent to the truth and the consequences of their actions, as long as they can maintain their sense of superiority. The repetition of phrases like 'No importa lo que digas' (It doesn't matter what you say) and 'Seguro que es mentira' (It's surely a lie) underscores the deceit and self-delusion that characterize this person's behavior.

The song's narrative highlights the cyclical nature of the protagonist's actions: they rise and fall, come and go, experience joy and release anger, all while being fixated on themselves. The lines 'Te gusta verte te gusta tocarte / Te gusta que todos te vean' (You like to see yourself, you like to touch yourself / You like everyone to see you) emphasize the narcissistic tendencies of the individual, who derives strength and satisfaction from being the center of attention. This self-obsession is further reinforced by the chorus, which starkly contrasts the protagonist's happiness with the misery of others: 'Todos en miseria / Y tú en egohisteria' (Everyone in misery / And you in egohisteria).

The term 'egohisteria' itself is a powerful metaphor, combining 'ego' and 'hysteria' to describe a state of extreme self-absorption and emotional instability. The song critiques the societal tendency to prioritize individual success and happiness over collective well-being. By highlighting the protagonist's disregard for others' suffering, Enjambre calls attention to the destructive nature of such egocentric behavior. The song serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy and the dangers of allowing one's ego to overshadow the needs and feelings of others.
