Malos Habitos

Ritorukai's song 'Malos Habitos' delves into the internal conflict and self-awareness of someone grappling with unhealthy habits and the pressure to conform to societal and familial expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has fallen into a cycle of poor lifestyle choices, such as not eating breakfast, wearing disheveled clothing, and staying up all night. These habits are not only physically taxing but also emotionally draining, as evidenced by the repeated line, 'Llevo cuatro noches sin descansar' (I've gone four nights without rest).

The song also touches on the protagonist's strained relationship with their family, particularly their mother, who disapproves of their appearance and lifestyle. The mention of 'Mis ojeras no le gustan a mamá' (My dark circles don't please mom) highlights the generational gap and the pressure to meet parental expectations. This tension is further exacerbated by the protagonist's awareness of their own destructive behavior, as they acknowledge that their habits are harmful and could eventually lead to their demise.

Moreover, 'Malos Habitos' explores the theme of self-identity and the struggle to be true to oneself in the face of external pressures. The protagonist feels trapped in a 'mansión' (mansion) that symbolizes the expectations and demands placed upon them. Despite recognizing that they are not being true to themselves, they continue to conform, which only deepens their sense of despair. The repeated refrain 'Tengo malos hábitos' (I have bad habits) serves as a haunting reminder of their ongoing battle with self-destructive tendencies and the difficulty of breaking free from them.
