Olvidamos Ser Felices (feat. Khaayraps)

“Olvidamos Ser Felices” by SDLH featuring Khaayraps is a poignant exploration of lost innocence and the struggles of adulthood. The song delves into the regrets and what-ifs of life, reflecting on how different circumstances in childhood could have led to a different present. The repeated lines about the father leaving and the inability to calm oneself highlight a deep-seated sense of abandonment and emotional turmoil that has carried into adulthood.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the contrast between the simplicity and joy of childhood and the complexity and disillusionment of adult life. The metaphor of being “estrellas fugaces” (shooting stars) as children, only to forget how to be happy as adults, underscores the fleeting nature of happiness and the harsh realities that come with growing up. The song also touches on themes of anxiety, trust issues, and the difficulty of maintaining genuine connections in a world that often feels superficial and unkind.

SDLH and Khaayraps use evocative imagery and raw emotion to convey the pain of unmet expectations and the longing for a simpler, more fulfilling existence. The references to acting, burning paper, and the inability to lie to oneself suggest a struggle with authenticity and the masks people wear to cope with their inner pain. The song’s melancholic tone and introspective lyrics resonate with anyone who has felt the weight of growing up and the loss of childlike wonder.

The final verses emphasize the inevitability of change and the difficulty of finding lasting happiness. The acknowledgment that life is not as beautiful as it seems and the struggle to find someone to grow old with reflect a deep sense of disillusionment. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the realization that some wounds may never heal and that the pursuit of happiness is fraught with challenges and heartache.
