Embracing Solitude: The Journey of Self-Reliance in 'Insensible'
Savia's song 'Insensible' delves into the emotional landscape of self-reliance and the struggle to express inner feelings. The lyrics reflect a journey of personal growth, where the protagonist has learned to live without seeking approval from others. This independence is portrayed as a positive change, freeing the individual from the need to be grateful for someone else's support or affection. The phrase 'he nacido para ser solitario y del revés' (I was born to be solitary and upside down) underscores a sense of inherent solitude and a non-conformist attitude towards life.
The recurring theme of crying and silence in the song highlights the difficulty of expressing deep emotions. The protagonist acknowledges their insensitivity, not as a lack of feeling, but as an inability to demonstrate what they truly feel. This internal conflict is further emphasized by the line 'es difícil reflejar lo que siento no lo puedo demostrar' (it's difficult to reflect what I feel, I can't show it). The song suggests that this insensitivity is a defense mechanism, a way to cope with past hurts and the disdain they have experienced.
The passage of time and its supposed healing power is questioned in the song. The protagonist remains unchanged, still seeking a truth to believe in and grappling with the emotional scars left by past relationships. The line 'el tiempo dicen que cura el dolor, no es así, no!!' (they say time heals pain, but it doesn't, no!!) challenges the common belief that time can heal all wounds. Instead, the song portrays a more complex emotional reality, where pain persists despite the passage of time, and the journey towards self-reliance and emotional expression continues to be fraught with challenges.
