No Te Espantes

Flema's song 'No Te Espantes' delves into themes of existential dread and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The lyrics open with a sense of confusion and horror, as the narrator questions their place and purpose ('decime qué hago acá, decime a quién mirar'). This sets the tone for a journey through a landscape of disillusionment and introspection. The repeated refrain 'no espantés, no te espantes' serves as a mantra, urging both the narrator and the listener to remain calm amidst the chaos and uncertainty.

The song's imagery is rich with metaphors that convey a sense of disconnection and alienation. Phrases like 'mi sueño ya no tiene error, mi sueño no tiene color' suggest a loss of vibrancy and direction in the narrator's dreams and aspirations. The mention of dancing in the sky ('voy a bailar al cielo') could be interpreted as a desire to escape the mundane and find solace in a higher plane of existence. This juxtaposition of despair and a yearning for transcendence is a recurring theme in Flema's work, reflecting the band's punk rock ethos and their critique of societal norms.

Flema also touches on themes of identity and belonging, referring to themselves as 'los antárticos' and 'los hijos del sol.' These labels evoke a sense of being outsiders, yet also part of a larger, perhaps cosmic, community. The line 'es la guerrilla de paz' introduces a paradoxical concept of peaceful rebellion, suggesting that the struggle for meaning and authenticity can be a form of resistance against a conformist society. The song concludes with a call for silence and introspection ('traé un contenedor, solo en silencio'), emphasizing the importance of inner reflection in navigating the complexities of life.
