Fármaco

Melandrolia's song 'Fármaco' delves into the harrowing experience of mental anguish and the desperate search for relief. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their inner demons, feeling trapped in a cycle of mental suicide and suffering. The opening lines, 'Hacer recuerdos / Constante suicidio mental,' suggest a relentless battle with painful memories and thoughts, leading to a state of near-total oblivion. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist feels lost and fearful of the truth they face.

The chorus amplifies this sense of entrapment and despair. The lines 'No puedo siquiera gritar / Es la cordura la que me quiere atrapar' highlight the protagonist's inability to even scream for help, as sanity itself feels like a trap. The use of the word 'cordura' (sanity) as something that wants to capture them adds a layer of complexity, suggesting that even rationality is a source of torment. The exclamations '¡Qué insoportable es el estar!' and '¡Ah, mordaza amenazante / Déjame vomitar!' convey an intense, almost physical discomfort with existence, as if the very act of being is unbearable.

The final lines, '¡Mi cuerpo agonizante me impide volar, ah!' encapsulate the ultimate frustration and helplessness. The protagonist's 'agonizing body' prevents them from escaping their torment, symbolizing how their physical and mental states are inextricably linked in their suffering. The imagery of being unable to fly suggests a longing for freedom and release that remains out of reach. Melandrolia's raw and evocative lyrics, combined with their emotive musical style, create a powerful narrative of struggle and the yearning for liberation from mental pain.
