Escribo

In 'Escribo,' Txus Di Fellatio delves into the therapeutic nature of writing, using it as a means to cope with emotional turmoil and existential angst. The song opens with the line 'Escribo, para mantener distraída a la amargura,' which translates to 'I write to keep bitterness distracted.' This sets the tone for the entire piece, highlighting writing as a form of emotional armor against life's hardships. The act of writing becomes a way to dodge the 'darts' of bitterness, with words serving as a protective shield.

The lyrics also explore the idea of silence as a powerful form of expression. 'Y callo, porque digo más en mis silencios que engañando a las palabras con sentimientos adoptados,' meaning 'And I stay silent because I say more in my silences than by deceiving words with adopted feelings,' suggests that sometimes silence can convey deeper truths than spoken words. This duality of expression—through both words and silence—adds a layer of complexity to the song, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of human emotion.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that writing is not just a distraction but a form of healing. 'Escribo, para curar mi alma rota,' or 'I write to heal my broken soul,' underscores the cathartic power of poetry and prose. The act of writing transforms tears into ink, turning sorrow into art. This therapeutic process is further emphasized with lines like 'Grito, para que el silencio no me coja,' meaning 'I scream so that silence doesn't catch me,' and 'Curo mis heridas con un verso,' or 'I heal my wounds with a verse.' Writing becomes a lifeline, a way to keep madness at bay and to find solace in the midst of chaos.

'Escribo' is a poignant exploration of the emotional and psychological benefits of writing. It serves as a reminder that words can be both a weapon and a balm, offering a means to navigate the complexities of human experience.
