Enfermo (Feat. Tego Calderón)

In 'Enfermo,' Mala Rodríguez and Tego Calderón explore the theme of mental illness with a raw and unapologetic approach. The song opens with a dialogue that sets the stage for a narrative about being labeled as mentally ill. The repeated chorus, 'Él está enfermo, enfermo, enfermo mental,' emphasizes the stigma and societal judgment faced by those with mental health issues. This repetition serves to highlight the relentless nature of these labels and the inevitability of being 'taken away' by societal norms and expectations.

The lyrics delve into various mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety, painting a vivid picture of the chaotic and often misunderstood world of mental illness. The line 'Mira, sin sociedad, no hay enfermedad' suggests that mental illness is, in part, a social construct, exacerbated by societal pressures and judgments. This perspective challenges the listener to reconsider their views on mental health and the role society plays in defining what is 'normal' and what is 'ill.'

Mala Rodríguez and Tego Calderón also touch on the personal experience of living with mental illness. The lyrics describe a sense of defiance and resilience, as seen in lines like 'Pero yo vivo feliz in flow como levadura' and 'Soy un paciente que se burla de su cura.' These lines convey a sense of empowerment and self-acceptance, despite the challenges posed by mental health issues. The song ultimately serves as a powerful commentary on the complexities of mental illness, the impact of societal judgment, and the importance of self-acceptance and resilience.
