HUMO

The song 'HUMO' by Saramalacara delves into themes of abandonment, coping mechanisms, and the search for solace in the midst of emotional turmoil. The lyrics open with the artist expressing a sense of betrayal and disappointment, as someone important did not show up, leaving them feeling let down. The repetition of 'you never change' suggests a history of unreliability and hurt. The artist finds a temporary escape from this pain through the atmosphere of a disco and the use of medication, which is implied to bring them some relief.

The second verse introduces a character who sleeps with a gun, symbolizing danger or a readiness for conflict. The mention of a 'cartera llena de fármaco' (wallet full of drugs) indicates a reliance on substances to numb the pain or fill the void left by a failed relationship. The heart no longer beating since meeting this person could be a metaphor for emotional numbness or the death of romantic feelings. The reference to dressing 'top tier' and the effect it had on the other person suggests an attempt to impress or win approval, possibly as a way to compensate for the lack of emotional connection.

Overall, 'HUMO' paints a picture of someone trying to navigate the aftermath of a relationship that has left them emotionally scarred. They use the club scene and medication as a way to cope with their feelings of abandonment and to mask the pain. The song's title, which means 'smoke' in Spanish, could symbolize the clouding of judgment or the ephemeral nature of the relief found in these coping strategies. The lyrics reflect a struggle to find genuine healing and the challenges of moving on from a toxic situation.
