Suicida

Snake's song 'Suicida' delves into the profound and often unsettling themes of existential uncertainty, loss, and the search for meaning. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the concept of death and the afterlife, questioning whether they will ever reunite with a lost loved one. The repeated lines 'Decime si me podés escuchar' and 'Si algún día nos vamos a encontrar' reflect a deep yearning for connection and answers in the face of life's unpredictability.

The metaphor of a 'Suicida en la ciudad' serves as a powerful image of isolation and surveillance. The protagonist feels like a 'spy from beyond,' observing life from a detached perspective, perhaps as a result of their own brushes with mortality or the loss of someone close. This sense of being an outsider, watching life unfold without fully participating, is further emphasized by the imagery of 'medusas danzan cerca de mi cuerpo como hadas,' suggesting a surreal, almost dreamlike state of existence.

The song also touches on the weariness of unrequited love and the haunting presence of past relationships. The line 'Cansado de quererte y de las rimas de Cohén' hints at the exhaustion that comes from loving someone who is no longer present, as well as the influence of Leonard Cohen's melancholic poetry. The protagonist's reflections on old loves and the passage of time are encapsulated in the poignant image of 'pulsando las canciones de los viejos amores,' highlighting the enduring impact of these memories.

'Vigila, solo' encapsulates the essence of the song—a solitary figure, watching and waiting, caught between the realms of the living and the dead. Snake's 'Suicida' is a haunting exploration of the human condition, filled with rich metaphors and emotional depth, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of loss, love, and the search for meaning in an uncertain world.
