Escaping the Pain: A Journey Away from Home
Flema's song "Lejos de Tu Casa" delves into the struggles and emotional turmoil of a young person who feels disconnected from their home and family. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who finds solace in being away from their house, despite the hardships they face on the streets. The opening lines, "No importa donde vas, si estas mucho mejor / no importa estas, si es lejos de tu casa," suggest that the protagonist feels a sense of relief and freedom when they are far from home, indicating that their household might be a source of pain or conflict.
The song continues to describe the protagonist's parents searching for them, but the individual remains determined to stay away, as nothing can stop them now. This defiance is captured in the lines, "Te busca tu mama, te busca tu papa / te volves a fugas, ya no te para nada." The protagonist questions the purpose of their existence, asking, "Para que me trajeron al mundo a sufrir?" This line reveals a deep sense of existential despair and a feeling of being trapped in a life of suffering.
Despite the harsh realities of living on the streets, the protagonist finds it preferable to staying at home. The lyrics, "Careteando, dinero en las calles / Pidiendo, comida en los bares / Sintiendo, lo dura que es la calle / Mucho mejor que casa," highlight the daily struggles of begging for money and food, yet these experiences are deemed better than the emotional pain endured at home. Flema's raw and honest portrayal of this individual's plight sheds light on the broader issues of family conflict, youth rebellion, and the search for personal freedom and identity.
