Cansado de Estar Triste (feat. Walls)

“Cansado de Estar Triste (feat. Walls)” by Xavibo is a poignant exploration of the emotional exhaustion that comes with prolonged sadness and heartbreak. The song's lyrics convey a deep sense of weariness and a desperate desire for change. The repeated refrain, “Estoy cansado de estar triste, ya está” (I’m tired of being sad, that’s it), underscores the artist's longing to break free from the cycle of sorrow and find a new beginning.

The song delves into the personal struggles of the narrator, who feels trapped in a state of perpetual sadness. The metaphor of the hotel room turned into a hospital room highlights the depth of his emotional pain, suggesting that his environment has become a place of healing and recovery, yet he remains stuck. The imagery of the bathroom as an igloo, devoid of light, further emphasizes the cold and isolating nature of his depression. The narrator's plea for someone to “pellizque y despertar” (pinch and wake him up) signifies a yearning for a reality check or a jolt that could pull him out of his despondency.

Xavibo's collaboration with Walls adds another layer to the song, as both artists share their experiences of dealing with heartbreak and the subsequent emotional fallout. The lyrics touch on themes of self-destructive behavior, such as substance use, as a coping mechanism. The line “Mira que me drogo y solo me coloco con lo que me dices tú” (Look, I do drugs and only get high on what you say) reveals the narrator's dependence on the words and presence of a loved one to feel any semblance of relief. This dependency, however, only deepens his sense of loss and isolation when that person is no longer around.

The song also addresses the impact of this emotional turmoil on the narrator's relationships with others, particularly his family. The avoidance of FaceTime calls with his mother to prevent her from worrying highlights the internal conflict between wanting to protect loved ones and the inability to hide his pain. Ultimately, “Cansado de Estar Triste” is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle to overcome sadness and the hope for liberation from its grip.
