Voy Caminando

In 'Voy Caminando,' Nihilismo delves into the depths of loneliness and existential despair. The song's title, which translates to 'I Am Walking,' sets the stage for a journey that is both physical and emotional. The opening lines, 'Hoy voy caminando, no hay nadie a mi lado,' immediately establish a sense of isolation. The protagonist is walking alone, emphasizing a profound solitude that permeates the entire song. This solitude is further compounded by the admission of being drunk, suggesting a form of escapism or a coping mechanism to deal with the pain of existence.

The lyrics 'yo nunca pude ser feliz, ni una mueca por sonreir' reveal a deep-seated unhappiness and an inability to find joy in life. The use of the word 'nunca' (never) underscores the permanence of this state of being. The protagonist's life is marked by a continuous struggle, as indicated by 'nunca es siempre estoy asi,' which translates to 'never is always, I am always like this.' This line encapsulates the cyclical nature of their despair, suggesting that happiness is an elusive and unattainable goal.

The song takes a darker turn with the lines 'hoy me estan matando, recuerdos del pasado,' where the protagonist is haunted by memories of the past. These memories are so painful that they feel like they are killing him. This vivid imagery highlights the weight of past experiences and their impact on the present. Nihilismo's raw and unfiltered lyrics offer a poignant exploration of human suffering, making 'Voy Caminando' a powerful reflection on the struggles of life and the enduring quest for meaning amidst despair.
