Solo Caminando

Flema's song "Solo Caminando" delves into the themes of aimlessness, emotional pain, and the search for solace in substances. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is wandering through life without a clear path or destination. The phrase "voy sin camino" (I go without a path) and "voy sin destino" (I go without a destination) highlight a sense of being lost and directionless. This feeling is compounded by the presence of "recuerdos en el olvido" (memories in oblivion), suggesting that the past is filled with forgotten or painful memories that haunt the present.

The song also explores the protagonist's relationship with pain and love. The line "siempre a mi lado sueños frustrados" (always by my side, frustrated dreams) indicates a constant presence of unfulfilled aspirations. The question "por qué te amo" (why do I love you) suggests a struggle to understand a love that brings more pain than joy. This emotional turmoil is further emphasized by the imagery of rain extinguishing the sun, symbolizing how sadness can overshadow moments of happiness.

In an attempt to escape this mental anguish, the protagonist turns to marijuana, as indicated by the repeated lines "buscando marihuana, fumando marihuana" (looking for marijuana, smoking marijuana). The desire to quiet the mind and numb the pain is evident in the lines "solo quiero que se calle mi mente" (I just want my mind to be quiet) and "solo con el fuego pasa el dolor" (only with fire does the pain pass). The reference to being close to hell and laughing suggests a resigned acceptance of their situation, finding a dark humor in their suffering.
