Solamente

Pastilla's song 'Solamente' delves into themes of isolation, inner conflict, and the struggle for self-acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels lost and disconnected, both from themselves and from others. The opening lines, 'Perdi mi espiritu, en la noche. En el cielo azul, me meti al baul,' suggest a sense of losing one's spirit and retreating into a metaphorical chest, symbolizing a withdrawal from the world and a search for solace in solitude.

The recurring refrain, 'Hey! no se te olvide que en el centro estoy y que todo es facil sin la sangre y la piel y las venas tambien,' emphasizes the protagonist's desire to be remembered and understood at their core, beyond the physical and emotional layers that often complicate human relationships. This line suggests a yearning for simplicity and a deeper connection that transcends superficial interactions.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal a struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. The lines 'Estoy ya sumergido ahogado en un vaso de ansiedad' and 'he decidido malnacido ha volverme a lo podrido' convey a sense of being overwhelmed by anxiety and a feeling of being tainted or corrupted. Despite these struggles, there is a glimmer of hope in the repeated phrase 'solamente una vez,' which suggests a willingness to try again, to give life and relationships another chance, even if just once.

'Pastilla' is known for their introspective and often melancholic lyrics, blending alternative rock with a touch of Latin influence. 'Solamente' is a poignant example of their ability to capture complex emotions and the human experience in a way that resonates deeply with listeners. The song's exploration of solitude, inner turmoil, and the quest for self-acceptance makes it a powerful and relatable piece of music.
