No se quiere suicidar

Pereza's song "No se quiere suicidar" delves into the existential crisis of a high-ranking corporate executive who feels trapped in the monotonous and soul-crushing world of his job. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is disillusioned with the superficiality and materialism that dominate his life. He dreams of escaping the corporate grind, symbolized by his desire to be an animal, specifically a sheep, living a simple and carefree life surrounded by nature. This metaphor highlights his yearning for innocence and freedom from the pressures of his high-stakes environment.

The song's protagonist fantasizes about radical acts of rebellion, such as burning down his office and vomiting on the company's holiday product launches. These extreme images underscore his deep frustration and desire to break free from the constraints of his professional life. His longing to use the company car to seduce the receptionist he wants to conquer further illustrates his need for personal liberation and a break from societal expectations.

Despite his intense dissatisfaction, the protagonist does not want to end his life; instead, he seeks a different kind of existence. He dreams of swimming in a new sea, with fish that don't grow, go crazy, or know where they are. This imagery suggests a desire for a simpler, more authentic life, free from the artificiality and constant pressure of his current situation. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes his desperation to escape and find a new path, one that allows him to live without the burdens of his corporate responsibilities.
