INTRO

KHEA's song 'INTRO' delves deep into the complexities of mental health, personal struggles, and the pressures of fame. The opening lines, 'Dicen que el tiempo es la cura / Pero, ¿de mí qué me cura?' (They say time is the cure / But what cures me?), set the tone for a reflective and introspective journey. The artist questions the conventional wisdom that time heals all wounds, suggesting that his internal battles are more profound and persistent. This sentiment is further emphasized with the cautionary advice, 'Cuidado con lo que sueñas / Debes de estar a la altura' (Be careful what you dream / You must be up to the task), highlighting the weight of expectations and the pressure to succeed.

KHEA reflects on the significant decisions he made at a young age, '¿Cuál fue la mayor decisión que tomaste con 17 años? / Contratos y marcas, giras y exceso', peso en la espalda' (What was the biggest decision you made at 17? / Contracts and brands, tours and excesses, weight on the back). This line underscores the immense responsibility and burden that comes with early fame. The transformation of his guardian angel into a demon symbolizes the loss of innocence and the onset of darker times. The artist's introspection continues with questions about self-awareness and mental health, 'Seme sincero, ¿te llevas bien contigo mismo? / ¿Qué-Qué-Qué te dicen esas voces? / ¿En serio crees que te conoces?' (Be honest, do you get along with yourself? / What do those voices tell you? / Do you really think you know yourself?). These lines reveal a struggle with identity and the internal dialogue that often accompanies mental health issues.

The song takes a more clinical turn with the mention of psychiatric disorders and serotonin, 'Hablaremos de los trastornos psiquiátricos / Y en particular, de los trastorno' depresivos / La primera cuestión es: ¿Qué es la serotonina?' (We will talk about psychiatric disorders / And in particular, depressive disorders / The first question is: What is serotonin?). By focusing on serotonin, a key neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation, KHEA brings attention to the biological aspects of depression. The repetition of 'La serotonina' serves as a haunting reminder of the chemical imbalances that can affect mental health. Through 'INTRO,' KHEA provides a raw and honest portrayal of his struggles, inviting listeners to reflect on their own mental health and the societal pressures that can exacerbate these issues.
