Ventanilla

Chukky's 'Ventanilla' is a poignant reflection on the nature of life and the internal struggles that can consume us. The song's title, which translates to 'Window', metaphorically suggests looking at life as it goes by without actively participating in it. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the idea of life passing by 'por la ventanilla', which can be interpreted as a call to live more fully and be present in the moment rather than being lost in one's thoughts and worries.

The artist addresses someone who is constantly missing out on 'the best days' because they are caught up in their own head. Chukky tries to convince this person that their incessant overthinking is detrimental, 'killing' them slowly. The song's narrator understands the struggle intimately, having been in the same position, and offers empathy and companionship. There's a sense of urgency in the message to stop worrying about things that cannot be changed and to seek solace in friendship and shared experiences, like going out for a drink or 'smoking a joint' to let go of troubles.

The song also touches on the theme of friendship and support. Chukky positions himself as a friend who is there for both the good times and the bad, willing to help carry the burden of the other's 'poison'. The lyrics suggest that while he may not have the answers to life's problems, the act of standing by each other is in itself a powerful remedy. The song ends with a stark reminder that while one is caught up in their worries, life continues to slip away, reinforcing the need to engage with life actively rather than watching it pass by.
