Vida Rockstar

Jhay Cortez, also known as Jhayco, delves into the chaotic and hedonistic lifestyle of a rockstar in his song 'Vida Rockstar.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with excess, emotional turmoil, and a longing for a past love. The recurring mention of 'lean' (a recreational drug) and alcohol highlights the artist's struggle with substance abuse as a coping mechanism for his emotional pain and loneliness. The line 'La miro y te veo a ti' (I look at her and see you) suggests that despite being surrounded by other women, he is haunted by the memory of a significant past relationship.

The song also explores themes of identity and self-perception. Jhay Cortez repeatedly asserts, 'Yo no soy normal, yo soy un rockstar' (I am not normal, I am a rockstar), emphasizing his unique lifestyle and the pressures that come with it. This declaration is a double-edged sword; while it signifies his success and fame, it also underscores his isolation and the difficulty of finding genuine connections. The mention of material wealth, such as 'carro nuevo, culo nuevo' (new car, new ass), contrasts sharply with his emotional emptiness, highlighting the superficiality of his surroundings.

Cultural references are woven throughout the song, from the use of 'lean' to the imagery of 'cadena' (chains) and 'GoldStar,' which symbolize the trappings of fame and the hip-hop culture. Jhay Cortez's musical style, characterized by reggaeton and Latin trap influences, adds a rhythmic and melodic layer to the raw and introspective lyrics. The song captures the essence of a rockstar's life—glamorous on the surface but fraught with inner conflict and a yearning for something more meaningful.
