ASIEDÁ

Gepe's song 'ASIEDÁ' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and personal struggles associated with anxiety. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The song begins with a relatable scenario: running late because of misplaced keys, which sets the tone for the recurring theme of failure and disappointment. The protagonist's interactions with a judgmental cat and a distant neighbor further emphasize their sense of isolation and self-criticism.

The chorus, where Gepe repeatedly sings 'Ansiedá,' highlights the overwhelming nature of anxiety. Despite not believing in God, the protagonist feels desperate enough to pray, likening their fear to that of a child afraid of the dark. This metaphor underscores the vulnerability and helplessness that often accompany anxiety. The plea for a second chance and the promise to change reflect a deep desire for acceptance and understanding, even as the protagonist acknowledges their past mistakes and shortcomings.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of self-perception and the struggle to meet expectations. The lines 'Ya empecé a sentirme feo' and 'Cada cosa que hago siempre sale mal' reveal a profound sense of self-loathing and frustration. The protagonist's repeated failures and the resulting negative self-image create a vicious cycle of anxiety and despair. However, the song also hints at a glimmer of hope, as the protagonist expresses a willingness to change and a desire to be loved, even if it means becoming someone they are not. This complex interplay of emotions makes 'ASIEDÁ' a poignant and relatable exploration of the human experience with anxiety.
