Psicosis

Rapper School's 'Psicosis' delves into the harrowing experiences of individuals grappling with severe mental illness. The song narrates three distinct yet interconnected stories, each portraying the struggles of people who are marginalized and misunderstood by society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their chaotic lives, marked by violence, addiction, and a desperate need for escape. The recurring chorus emphasizes the protagonist's indifference to the pain they cause others, highlighting their overwhelming need to satisfy their destructive urges.

The song's verses are rich with metaphors and imagery that convey the depth of the characters' suffering. The line 'Él tiene un muerto viviendo en su corazón' (He has a dead person living in his heart) symbolizes the emotional numbness and inner turmoil that plague the protagonist. The reference to 'fármacos formaron formas y dibujo en sus paredes' (pharmaceuticals formed shapes and drawings on his walls) illustrates the hallucinatory effects of drug abuse and the distorted reality experienced by those with mental illness. The lyrics also touch on the societal neglect and stigma faced by these individuals, as seen in the lines 'Cuan uraño es este mundo, sobre todo quien lo mira' (How sullen is this world, especially those who look at it).

Rapper School's raw and unfiltered portrayal of mental illness serves as a powerful commentary on the need for empathy and understanding. The song sheds light on the often-ignored struggles of those living with mental health issues, urging listeners to recognize the humanity in these individuals. The haunting refrain '¡Alguien! Que le avise que está loco, que le falla la mente' (Someone! Tell him he's crazy, that his mind is failing) underscores the urgent need for intervention and support. Through 'Psicosis,' Rapper School challenges societal perceptions and calls for a more compassionate approach to mental health.
