TQM (feat. Ximena Sariñana y Elsa y Elmar)

The song 'TQM' by Little Jesus, featuring Ximena Sariñana and Elsa y Elmar, delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the emotional dependencies that often accompany them. The lyrics speak to a dynamic where one person is used as an emotional crutch, only to be discarded when the other person feels better. This theme is introduced in the opening lines, where the speaker invites their partner to use them when they're feeling down, and then to forget them once they're in a better state of mind. This sets a tone of disposability and transient connection, which is a common sentiment in the age of fleeting digital interactions and casual relationships.

The song continues to explore the idea of emotional highs and lows, as well as the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. The lyrics 'Tuve un mal presentimiento ayer' (I had a bad feeling yesterday) and the mention of trembling hands and an inability to run away from one's feelings suggest a deep-seated fear and vulnerability. The desire to be told what one already knows about oneself indicates a need for validation and reassurance, even if it means reaching the 'cima del Universo' (top of the Universe) only to be left there alone. This speaks to the human condition of seeking affirmation from others, even when it leads to isolation.

The song also touches on the theme of losing oneself in the passage of time and the feeling of being out of sync with the world ('Perder el tiempo / Y no encontrarlo ni un momento'). The lyrics express a sense of alienation and the struggle to maintain control over one's emotions. The repeated lines 'Estoy tratando de ocultarlo / Que no puedo controlarlo' (I'm trying to hide it / That I can't control it) reveal an internal battle and the difficulty of keeping up appearances. The song ends with a poignant question about the amount of time one has to pretend to be okay, highlighting the existential dilemma of authenticity versus societal expectations.
