Me Pierdo

La Vela Puerca's song 'Me Pierdo' delves into the intricate dance between madness and reality, exploring the tension between the two through vivid imagery and emotional depth. The lyrics open with a declaration of the necessity of invention and dreaming, suggesting that the protagonist cannot exist without these elements. This sets the stage for a journey where the lines between sanity and insanity blur, and the protagonist grapples with the loss of emotional connection, symbolized by 'eyes of metal' that no longer cry or shine.

The chorus, 'En el cielo volando están, mi locura y mi realidad,' captures the essence of the song, portraying madness and reality as entities that coexist and hover above, influencing the protagonist's path. The lyrics urge against hiding one's true self and emotions, warning that doing so leads to further loss and confusion. The metaphor of crossing a hundred paths in the midst of pain highlights the struggle to find direction and meaning amidst chaos.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's journey becomes more intense, with walls opening and terror dissolving, only to be replaced by a multitude of gazes and the fear reflected in a significant other's eyes. The lack of tenderness and the protagonist's descent into madness are poignantly expressed through the imagery of kicking away sanity and burning clarity. The final lines emphasize the protagonist's acceptance of living in an endless street, storing feelings in a personal garden, and acknowledging the presence of madness everywhere, with no one willing to lose the knowledge of having once possessed something valuable.
