Siempre Igual

Flema's song 'Siempre Igual' delves into the repetitive and unchanging nature of the protagonist's life. The lyrics paint a picture of a person trapped in a cycle of monotony, where days pass without motivation or excitement. The opening lines, 'Pasan los días nada me motiva / Horas aburridas de mi soledad,' set the tone for the song, highlighting a sense of boredom and isolation. This feeling is further emphasized by the act of smoking a cigarette while contemplating life, only to find that nothing changes, encapsulated in the recurring phrase 'Siempre igual' (Always the same).

The mention of Nirvana and playing the guitar introduces a brief moment of emotional connection and solace. 'Me conmuevo un poco si escucho Nirvana / Y con la guitarra me pongo a cantar' suggests that music, particularly Nirvana's, offers a temporary escape from the protagonist's stagnant reality. However, even this escape is fleeting, as the song quickly returns to the theme of sameness with 'Siempre dos tonos después pongo otro / Y sin muchas vueltas todo sigue igual.' This line implies that even in moments of creativity, the protagonist feels stuck in a predictable pattern.

Flema, known for their raw and honest punk rock style, often explores themes of disillusionment and existential angst. 'Siempre Igual' is a reflection of these themes, capturing the frustration of feeling trapped in a life that lacks change or excitement. The repetitive structure of the lyrics mirrors the repetitive nature of the protagonist's life, reinforcing the song's central message. Through its simple yet poignant lyrics, 'Siempre Igual' resonates with anyone who has ever felt caught in the unchanging cycle of daily life.
