Como soy

Pignoise's song "Como soy" delves into the internal conflict of trying to be oneself while grappling with personal flaws and societal expectations. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who repeatedly makes mistakes and feels trapped by their own imperfections. The protagonist admits to failing and choosing to ignore problems rather than confront them, highlighting a sense of helplessness and frustration. This is evident in lines like "Yo que intento acertar, la vuelvo a cagar" (I try to get it right, but I mess it up again) and "Cuando todo va mal, yo prefiero ignorar" (When everything goes wrong, I prefer to ignore it).

The song also explores the duality of the protagonist's nature. They describe themselves as both charming and the worst, indicating a struggle between their desire to be good and their inherent flaws. This duality is captured in the chorus: "Y es que soy un poquito encantador y otro poco lo peor" (And it's because I'm a little charming and a little the worst). The lyrics suggest a resignation to these flaws, as the protagonist acknowledges that there is no remedy for being who they are.

Moreover, the song touches on themes of insecurity and the difficulty of genuine self-expression. The protagonist feels like they are constantly pretending and struggling to communicate their true feelings. This is reflected in lines like "Que me da la sensación de estar todo el rato fingiendo que hay corazón" (It gives me the feeling of always pretending that there is a heart) and "Como poder decirte que no hay solución" (How to tell you that there is no solution). The song captures the essence of human vulnerability and the complex journey of self-acceptance.
