Incontinencia Verbal

The song 'Incontinencia Verbal' by Las Pastillas del Abuelo delves into themes of deception, self-reflection, and the consequences of one's actions. The title itself, which translates to 'Verbal Incontinence,' metaphorically describes the overflow of meaningless or deceitful words, suggesting a critique of insincerity and superficial communication.

The lyrics paint a picture of a character who sells virtues like humility, dignity, and sincerity, but whose actions contradict these qualities. The repeated questions "¿Dónde está? ¿Qué pasó? ¿Desapareció?" highlight a loss of genuine connection and trust, emphasizing the theme of disillusionment with someone who no longer 'looks you in the eyes.' This portrayal serves as a broader commentary on the lack of authenticity in interactions, where people often prioritize appearances over substance.

The chorus and verses explore the idea that sometimes distancing oneself or taking a step back can lead to better understanding and personal growth. Phrases like "A veces, alejarme es acercarme a vos" and "A veces, un paso atrás no es la rendición" suggest that introspection and reconsidering one's approach can be more constructive than relentless confrontation. The song encourages finding balance and asserts that actions should be heartfelt and unconditional, resonating with those who value sincerity and depth in relationships.
