Locura Es No Ser

Eruca Sativa's 'Locura Es No Ser' is a profound exploration of existential angst and the human condition. The song delves into themes of identity, longing, and the passage of time, wrapped in a poetic and somewhat surreal narrative. The lyrics convey a sense of falling and vulnerability, as the protagonist grapples with the complexities of life and their own sense of self. The opening lines, 'Me bajo me caigo / Y a veces me hago victima,' suggest a struggle with self-perception and the feeling of being a victim of one's own circumstances.

The chorus, 'Ahhh ahhh escapate y volve / Locura es no ser,' serves as a poignant reminder of the thin line between sanity and madness. The phrase 'Locura es no ser' translates to 'Madness is not being,' which can be interpreted as a commentary on the necessity of embracing one's true self to avoid the insanity that comes with living a lie. The repetition of 'escapate y volve' (escape and return) underscores the cyclical nature of this internal struggle, as the protagonist yearns for freedom but is inevitably drawn back to their reality.

Throughout the song, there are vivid images of time and memory, such as 'Razones sembraron la tierra / Del olvido y tus manos juntando / Las veo envejecer.' These lines reflect on the passage of time and the inevitable aging process, adding a layer of melancholy to the narrative. The protagonist's dreams and visions, described in 'Me hundo en el sueño / Y reanimo visiones,' further emphasize the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, highlighting the inner turmoil and desire for escape. Eruca Sativa's unique blend of rock and poetic lyricism creates a powerful and introspective piece that resonates with listeners on a deep emotional level.
