Slow

Tiago PZK's song 'Slow' delves into the complexities and contradictions of fame and success. The opening lines, 'La fama da poder pero te saca vida,' set the tone by highlighting the double-edged sword of fame. While it grants power, it also drains life, suggesting that the pursuit of success comes with significant sacrifices. The artist reflects on the coldness and isolation that come with reaching the top, where many aspire to be but few understand the cost. The mention of 'puñale' en mi espalda' (knives in my back) indicates betrayal and the harsh realities of navigating the music industry, yet he finds solace in divine protection, 'Dio' me cuida' (God takes care of me).

The chorus, 'La plata nunca tapa el dolor' (Money never covers the pain), is a poignant reminder that material wealth cannot heal emotional wounds. Tiago PZK juxtaposes his external success with internal struggles, revealing a sense of emptiness despite the luxuries he can now afford. The line 'Mira, mamá, I can fly' (Look, mom, I can fly) symbolizes his achievements and the heights he has reached, yet he admits to moments of silence and suffering, 'A vece' callo cuando estoy mal' (Sometimes I stay quiet when I'm not well).

Tiago PZK also touches on the fleeting nature of love and trust, 'Fuck love, porque nunca es real' (Fuck love, because it's never real), expressing disillusionment with relationships. The song paints a vivid picture of a life filled with opulence but lacking genuine connection and fulfillment. The artist's hustle and determination are evident, but so is his awareness of the superficiality that often accompanies success. 'Sonrisa disfrazada, ¿Qué intención escondés?' (Disguised smile, what intention do you hide?) encapsulates the theme of hidden motives and the facade that people often present. Ultimately, 'Slow' is a raw and introspective look at the personal cost of fame and the unfulfilled promises of wealth and success.
