Por Higiene Emocional

Sr. Trepador's song "Por Higiene Emocional" delves into the complexities of emotional well-being and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person walking slowly, cautious not to trip, symbolizing a careful approach to life. This cautiousness is further emphasized by the protagonist's declaration of independence, stating they don't need anyone and don't want more friends. The imagery of hands in pockets and the wind hurting their bangs suggests a sense of vulnerability and isolation.

The chorus introduces a unique coping mechanism: the idea of opening a bar as a form of emotional hygiene. This bar becomes a metaphorical space where the protagonist can encounter others who are also seeking solace, albeit in a somewhat cynical manner. The mention of falling in love with someone who comes to steal a bit of affection and dignity highlights a desire for connection, even if it's fleeting and superficial. This reflects a deeper yearning for emotional fulfillment and the complexities of human relationships.

As the song progresses, the protagonist reflects on their stagnant existence, feeling stuck in the world without making any progress. The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and resignation, with the protagonist acknowledging the decay of the light that once guided them. The repetition of the phrase "con lo que me he convertido" (with what I've become) underscores a sense of self-awareness and perhaps regret. The song ultimately captures the struggle to maintain emotional hygiene in a world that often feels cold and unyielding, while also exploring themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and the search for meaning.
