Hastío

La Beriso's song 'Hastío' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of the protagonist. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is constantly on the move, both physically and mentally. The opening lines describe a hurried departure, a metaphor for the chaotic and unsettled state of mind. The mention of an 'airport full of nobody' suggests a sense of isolation and loneliness, even in places that are typically bustling with life. This sets the stage for the exploration of deeper personal issues.

The song takes a darker turn as it reveals the protagonist's encounter with dangerous habits and vices. The 'night something dangerous' and 'some pills that have taken away the coat' symbolize the self-destructive behaviors that strip away the protagonist's sense of security and warmth. This is a poignant reflection on how certain choices can lead to a loss of self and a deeper understanding of one's own flaws and weaknesses. The repeated line 'I have known my vices' underscores this self-awareness, albeit a painful one.

As the song progresses, there is a glimmer of hope and resilience. The protagonist falls 'defeated in bed' but contemplates their life and decides to 'get up and arrange my soul.' This moment of introspection and the decision to make a change highlights the internal struggle between despair and the desire for redemption. The contrasting imagery of being 'the wind in winter' or 'the sun that burns your body' further emphasizes the duality of the protagonist's nature. The repeated acknowledgment of 'punishment' suggests a recognition of the consequences of their actions, but also a willingness to face them and move forward.
