Ansias

The song 'Ansias' by Flou delves deep into the emotional turmoil of dealing with anxiety and the haunting echoes of the past. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is struggling to find peace within themselves, burdened by memories and voices from their past. The opening lines, 'Guardo en mi interior / Con silencio fiel,' suggest a person who keeps their emotions bottled up, perhaps out of a sense of loyalty or fear of vulnerability. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the phrase 'De aquel que creyó / Solo por creer,' indicating a sense of disillusionment or regret over past beliefs or decisions.

As the song progresses, the recurring theme of being haunted by the past becomes more apparent. The lines 'Advirtiéndome / La voz del ayer / Desgarrándome / Al decir adiós' convey a sense of being torn apart by memories and farewells that continue to linger. This haunting presence is something the protagonist cannot easily escape, as it 'Persiguiéndome / La voz del ayer / Quebrantándome / Al decir adiós.' The repetition of these lines underscores the relentless nature of these memories and the profound impact they have on the individual's mental state.

The chorus, 'Algún lugar / Debo encontrar / Donde escapar / De esta ansiedad,' serves as a desperate plea for relief and a search for a sanctuary where the protagonist can escape their overwhelming anxiety. This quest for peace and the struggle to silence the whispers of the past are central to the song's narrative. The act of 'Cierro mis oídos / Me niego a escuchar' symbolizes a conscious effort to block out these intrusive thoughts, yet the persistence of these whispers suggests that the journey to overcoming anxiety is fraught with challenges. Through its poignant lyrics and emotive delivery, 'Ansias' captures the essence of battling inner demons and the relentless pursuit of inner peace.
