Deprimencia

Revolver's song 'Deprimencia' delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of existential crisis and emotional numbness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is emotionally detached, unable to laugh or cry, and indifferent to the world around them. This emotional void is likened to a compass without a north, symbolizing a lack of direction and purpose in life. The repeated refrain of 'Deprimencia' underscores the pervasive sense of depression and confusion that the protagonist feels, as they navigate through life without a clear sense of where they are headed.

The song also touches on the defense mechanisms people use to cope with their inner turmoil. Lines like 'Ese instinto de defensa aunque no te ataque nadie' (That instinct of defense even when no one attacks you) and 'lágrimas de cocodrilo después de comerse a quién' (crocodile tears after eating someone) highlight the protagonist's tendency to put up emotional barriers and make excuses for their actions. These behaviors are portrayed as futile attempts to find solace, as the underlying issue remains unresolved. The use of religious imagery, such as 'rezar un credo y dos o tres avemarías' (praying a creed and two or three Hail Marys), suggests a desperate search for redemption and inner peace, which ultimately proves to be ineffective.

The final verses introduce a contrasting image of a vibrant, melodious figure walking down the street, serving as a stark reminder of what the protagonist has lost or never had. This figure represents a life full of passion and purpose, something the protagonist yearns for but cannot attain. The song's melancholic tone and repetitive structure emphasize the cyclical nature of the protagonist's despair, as they remain trapped in a state of 'Deprimencia,' unable to break free from their emotional and existential malaise.
