La Segunda de Inhalando Amor

Hazel's song "La Segunda de Inhalando Amor" delves into the life of a solitary woman who navigates a harsh world with only her dog for company. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her isolation and mistrust, stemming from a history of mistreatment. She finds solace in her own world, often described as 'traveling in the clouds' and 'riding in the air,' which suggests a form of escapism from her painful reality.

The recurring theme of inhaling a substance, referred to as 'activo,' serves as a metaphor for her attempt to find love and comfort in an otherwise cruel world. This act of inhaling is not just a physical action but a symbolic gesture of seeking emotional relief. Her hallucinations, or 'alucines,' become her companions, helping her forget her pain and creating an illusionary world where nothing is real and everything is a dream. This dream, however, is filled with pain, indicating that her escape is only temporary and fraught with its own set of challenges.

The song also touches on the societal neglect and the harsh conditions she faces, such as the cold and the rusted gardens along her path. These elements highlight the decay and desolation in her life. When questioned about her drug use, she responds that she is not using drugs but 'inhaling love,' a poignant statement that underscores her desperate need for affection and understanding. The repetition of the phrase 'están llenos de dolor' (they are full of pain) emphasizes the pervasive sorrow that defines her existence, making the song a powerful commentary on the struggles of those who turn to substances as a means of coping with their emotional and physical suffering.
