Esclavo de La Quimica

Lytos' song "Esclavo de La Quimica" delves deep into the harrowing experience of battling mental health issues and addiction. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels trapped within their own mind, struggling to distinguish reality from the chaos within. The opening lines, "Quien juega con fuego / Puede que se queme," set the tone for the song, suggesting that the protagonist's current suffering is a consequence of past actions, possibly experimenting with substances or engaging in risky behavior.

The song's narrative continues to explore the protagonist's disconnection from themselves and the world around them. Lines like "Me miro al espejo y no sé quién es él" and "Pierdo el contacto con la realidad" highlight a profound identity crisis and a sense of losing touch with reality. This is further emphasized by the metaphor of the monster not being under the bed but sleeping on it, symbolizing that the real danger lies within, not in external threats.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a deep sense of despair and a cry for help. The protagonist acknowledges their need for assistance, as seen in the lines "Necesito ayuda; encontrar una cura" and "Tal vez mi psiquiatra calme esta locura." This plea for help underscores the importance of mental health support and the struggle to find peace amidst the turmoil. The song concludes with a powerful reflection on the value of life and the relentless fight against the "beast" that seeks to consume it, encapsulating the ongoing battle many face with mental health and addiction.
