Estoy Enfermo

Melendi's song 'Estoy Enfermo' delves deep into the emotional and psychological struggles of feeling isolated and misunderstood. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been alone for a long time, to the point of losing their sanity. The repeated phrase 'que estoy enfermo' (that I'm sick) underscores a sense of helplessness and a cry for understanding and peace. This song is a raw and honest portrayal of the internal battles that come with prolonged solitude and the yearning for tranquility.

The metaphor of being a 'bicho raro' (a rare bug) who preserves himself in solitude highlights the singer's feeling of being an outcast or different from others. Despite his efforts to engage ('me apunto') and take action ('disparo'), he often falls short and ends up forgiving himself. This cycle of trying and failing, coupled with self-forgiveness, suggests a deep-seated struggle with self-worth and the difficulty of breaking free from one's own limitations.

The imagery of closing his eyes and the world spinning around him conveys a sense of disorientation and instability. The lines about never flying in the sky because his wings aren't real further emphasize a feeling of being trapped and unable to achieve his dreams or aspirations. The repeated plea for a little tranquility ('sólo quiero un poco de tranquilidad') is a poignant reminder of the simple yet profound desire for inner peace amidst the chaos of one's mind. Melendi's 'Estoy Enfermo' is a powerful exploration of the pain of isolation and the desperate need for understanding and calm.
