Lo Que Soy

Solitario's song 'Lo Que Soy' delves deep into the existential struggles and inner turmoil of the human experience. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the harsh realities of life, feeling trapped in a pseudo-existence that seems to offer no escape. The opening lines, 'Si lo que no te mata te hace más fuerte / Ahora entiendo a que se debe esta falta de fuerzas,' set the tone for the song, suggesting that the hardships faced have not led to strength but rather to a depletion of energy and willpower. This sentiment is further emphasized by the acknowledgment that life is a constant battle, one that feels futile given the inevitability of death.

The song explores themes of disillusionment and the proliferation of negative emotions. The artist questions the fairness of their suffering, pondering whether their past innocence was a crime deserving of such punishment. This reflection leads to a declaration of war against a world that has shown them the worst of humanity. The line 'He jurado hacer del odio mi estandarte' signifies a turning point where the artist decides to embrace hatred as a means of survival. This dark acceptance is a coping mechanism in a world where they see no hope for better times.

As the song progresses, Solitario expresses a sense of resignation and acceptance of their fate. The repeated lines 'Y si la vida es un suspiro, suspiremos / Porque el tiempo que se va no regresa' highlight the fleeting nature of life and the importance of making peace with one's circumstances. The artist acknowledges their symbiotic relationship with fear and panic, suggesting that these emotions have become an integral part of their identity. The closing lines, 'Y el espejo me ha mostrado lo que soy / Y si soy lo que soy, es por lo que fui,' encapsulate the essence of the song—self-awareness and acceptance of one's dark side as a result of past experiences. This introspective journey ultimately leads to a grim but honest understanding of oneself and the world.
