Lado B

In 'Lado B,' Rapper School delves into the complexities of mental health, portraying a vivid and raw depiction of internal struggles. The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with intrusive thoughts and voices that seem to dominate their mind. The opening lines, 'Siento que me estoy volviendo / Loco,' set the tone for the song, expressing a sense of losing control and being overwhelmed by these mental battles. The recurring theme of a voice urging self-destruction ('matate') highlights the severity of the protagonist's distress.

The song uses powerful metaphors to describe the mental prison the protagonist feels trapped in. Phrases like 'celda mental' and 'me maltrata y pone grapas' illustrate the suffocating and painful nature of these thoughts. The lyrics also touch on the impact of these struggles on the protagonist's sense of self and aspirations, as seen in 'desvanece todo lo que quise ser un día.' This line suggests a loss of identity and hope, further emphasizing the depth of the protagonist's turmoil.

Rapper School also explores the cyclical nature of these mental battles, with the voices in the protagonist's head never truly disappearing ('Voces en mi cabeza que nunca cesan'). The song captures the relentless and exhausting nature of dealing with mental health issues, where moments of relief are fleeting, and the struggle is ongoing. The mention of 'Lado B de esta cinta' serves as a metaphor for the darker, often hidden side of one's mind, contrasting with the more visible and socially acceptable 'Lado A.' This duality reflects the internal conflict and the facade that people often maintain while battling their inner demons.
