Viejo Y Cansado

Flema's song 'Viejo Y Cansado' delves deep into the themes of loneliness, frustration, and self-doubt. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels isolated and disconnected from the world around them. The repetition of 'Otro día en soledad' (Another day in solitude) and 'Otra tarde en soledad' (Another afternoon in solitude) emphasizes the ongoing nature of this loneliness, suggesting that it is a persistent and unchanging part of the narrator's life. This sense of isolation is further compounded by the lines 'Fingiendo felicidad' (Faking happiness) and 'Buscando por dentro' (Searching inside), indicating a struggle to find genuine joy and meaning.

The chorus, 'Viejo y cansado estoy' (I am old and tired), serves as a powerful metaphor for the narrator's emotional and mental exhaustion. Despite possibly being young in age, the narrator feels worn out and defeated by life. This is reinforced by the repeated assertion of 'No sirvo para nada' (I am good for nothing), which highlights a deep-seated sense of worthlessness and inadequacy. The narrator feels incapable of fulfilling any role or expectation, whether it be loving, hating, lying, or telling the truth.

The song also touches on the theme of perpetual childhood with the line 'Siempre seré un niño que se siente viejo' (I will always be a child who feels old). This suggests a feeling of being stuck in a state of arrested development, unable to grow or progress in life. The raw and unfiltered language used throughout the song, such as 'No sirvo pa' una mierda' (I am good for nothing), adds to the overall sense of despair and hopelessness. Flema's punk rock style, known for its rebellious and often nihilistic themes, perfectly complements the song's message, making 'Viejo Y Cansado' a poignant reflection on the struggles of feeling lost and unworthy in a world that demands so much.
