Color Lila

Métricas Frías' song 'Color Lila' delves deep into the complexities of pain, survival, and the search for meaning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who has faced numerous challenges and losses, including the death of a friend due to drug addiction. The artist reflects on his past, acknowledging his role as a less-than-ideal influence but also highlighting his efforts to fill the emotional voids in the lives of those around him. This duality of being both a source of trouble and a companion in times of need is a recurring theme in the song.

The chorus, 'Este dolor me da de comer, Hablo con Dios y con Lucifer,' encapsulates the artist's struggle with pain and his conversations with both divine and demonic forces. This line suggests a constant battle between good and evil within himself, and the realization that his pain has become a source of sustenance. The artist admits that it took time to understand that his purpose lies in filling the voids, possibly through his music and personal experiences.

The desire for 'billetes color lila' (purple bills) symbolizes a longing for financial stability and a way out of the monotonous routine. The imagery of being in open waters without control, and feelings being preserved in formaldehyde, further emphasizes a sense of helplessness and emotional numbness. Despite these struggles, the artist acknowledges that success is chasing him, much like a cat chases a mouse, indicating a relentless pursuit of his goals despite the odds.

'Color Lila' is a poignant exploration of the artist's internal and external battles, his reflections on past mistakes, and his quest for meaning and success amidst the chaos of life.
