Trapped in the Mind: The Struggle of Insomnia and Isolation

WOS's song "40" delves into the intense feelings of insomnia, isolation, and mental turmoil. The repetitive nature of the lyrics, with phrases like "Creo que no puedo dormir" (I think I can't sleep) and "'Toy loco y no me dejan salir de acá" (I'm crazy and they won't let me out of here), emphasizes a sense of being trapped both physically and mentally. The use of colors like green and red could symbolize different states of mind or emotions, such as envy, anger, or even a reference to being unwell or agitated.

The song's structure, with its repetitive and almost chant-like quality, mirrors the cyclical nature of insomnia and the feeling of being stuck in a loop. The mention of not being able to go out to buy something to drink and the fear of the consequences if he does, adds to the sense of confinement and desperation. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggles of dealing with one's inner demons and the fear of facing the outside world.

WOS, an Argentine rapper and musician, is known for his raw and honest lyrics that often touch on personal and social issues. In "40," he captures the essence of feeling trapped within one's own mind, a theme that resonates with many who have experienced similar struggles. The song's minimalist approach, both in its lyrics and musical arrangement, allows the listener to focus on the emotional weight of the words, making it a powerful piece that speaks to the human condition.
