Kristal

TOBI's song 'Kristal' delves into the complexities of fame, isolation, and the artificiality that often accompanies success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life transformed by wealth and recognition, yet shadowed by a sense of disconnection and longing. The recurring motif of 'cristales' (crystals) symbolizes barriers that prevent genuine human connection, even as the artist achieves his dreams. This metaphor highlights the paradox of visibility and invisibility in the public eye—despite being seen by many, TOBI feels unseen by those who matter most to him.

The song also explores the theme of dependency, both on substances and on emotional connections. TOBI compares his need for a significant other to the daily necessity of THC, a component of cannabis. This comparison underscores a deeper craving for stability and comfort in a world that often feels superficial and fleeting. The lyrics 'Cuando estoy drogado a vece' falta me hacés' (When I'm high, sometimes I miss you) reveal a vulnerability and a search for something real amidst the artificiality of his surroundings.

Moreover, 'Kristal' touches on the artist's journey from humble beginnings to a life of luxury. TOBI reflects on his success with a mix of pride and melancholy, acknowledging the sacrifices and changes that come with it. The lines 'Volví hacia el barrio, le dije ma', lo logramo'' (I returned to the neighborhood, told my mom, we made it) celebrate his achievements while also hinting at a sense of loss. The song's narrative suggests that while material success is a blessing, it also brings its own set of challenges, including the struggle to maintain authentic relationships in a world that often values appearances over substance.
