En Lo Profundo/Peso

Sugey Torres' song "En Lo Profundo/Peso" delves into the immense pressure and expectations that individuals often face, particularly those who are seen as strong and unbreakable. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is constantly pushing their limits, moving mountains and valleys, and executing tasks without hesitation. This person is portrayed as having an ironclad exterior, capable of withstanding and overcoming any obstacle. However, beneath this facade of strength lies a deep-seated struggle with the weight of these expectations.

The recurring theme of "En lo profundo" (In the depths) suggests a journey into the inner self, where the protagonist grapples with their true feelings and vulnerabilities. The song references Hercules, a symbol of immense strength, questioning whether even such a figure would ever want to give up. This metaphor highlights the internal conflict between maintaining an image of invincibility and the desire to relinquish the burdens that come with it. The lyrics also explore the idea of transferring these burdens to others, such as a sister, to see if they can withstand the same pressures.

As the song progresses, the imagery of cracks, thunder, and impending collapse becomes more prominent, symbolizing the breaking point that the protagonist fears. The weight is described as a relentless force, building up drop by drop until it reaches a tipping point. This culminates in a powerful reflection on the desire to escape the crushing expectations and simply enjoy a moment of peace and simplicity. The song ultimately questions the sustainability of living under constant pressure and the impact it has on one's identity and well-being.
