Mandibuleas

Flema's song 'Mandibuleas' delves into the relentless pursuit of escapism through substance use, capturing the essence of a night that bleeds into dawn. The term 'mandibulear' is a colloquial reference to the grinding of teeth, often associated with the use of stimulants. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone unable to sleep, trapped in a cycle of thoughts and cravings for 'un toque más' (one more hit). This phrase is repeated, emphasizing the insatiable desire for another dose, another escape from reality.

The song also touches on the theme of loneliness, juxtaposed with the presence of others who share the same plight. The line 'no podes ver tu soledad porque hay muchos más' (you can't see your loneliness because there are many more) suggests a false sense of camaraderie among those who are also seeking solace in substances. This fleeting connection, however, is superficial and temporary, as it is driven by the shared need for 'un toque más' rather than genuine companionship.

Flema, known for their raw and unfiltered approach to punk rock, often explores themes of addiction, despair, and societal disillusionment. 'Mandibuleas' is no exception, offering a stark reflection on the struggles faced by individuals caught in the grip of addiction. The song's repetitive structure and haunting lyrics serve to underscore the cyclical nature of this struggle, where each 'toque' only leads to the need for another, perpetuating an endless chase for relief that never truly comes.
