Demonios

Estopa's song 'Demonios' delves into the theme of personal struggles and the metaphorical demons that one faces within. The lyrics suggest a conversation with these demons, questioning their presence and the pain they bring. The song's protagonist seems to be addressing their own fears and sorrows, personified as demons, and the challenges of overcoming them. The reference to being 'desheredado' (disinherited) and a 'caballo sin establo' (horse without a stable) implies a sense of loss and lack of belonging.

The chorus, 'Demonios son mis temores, demonio es tanto llanto' (Demons are my fears, demon is so much crying), reinforces the idea that the singer's demons are internal fears and sadness. The 'mar de dudas' (sea of doubts) represents the uncertainty and confusion that often accompany these internal battles. The song also touches on the concept of oblivion as a form of self-destruction, likening it to 'chinarse las venas' (shooting up one's veins) and losing hope ('perder la primavera').

Despite the heavy themes, the song ends on a note of resilience. The repeated lines 'Yo me mantengo con las pocas cosas que yo tengo / Con mis sueños, con mi alma y con mi cuerpo' (I keep going with the few things that I have / With my dreams, with my soul, and with my body) suggest a determination to persevere despite the struggles. Estopa, known for their fusion of rock, rumba, and flamenco, often incorporates themes of social realism and personal experiences into their music, and 'Demonios' is a testament to their lyrical depth and musical storytelling.
