Me sobra carnaval

Los Enemigos' song 'Me sobra carnaval' delves into the bittersweet nature of life, using the metaphor of carnival to explore themes of regret, fleeting friendships, and the inevitability of death. The lyrics open with a reflection on past mistakes, emphasizing that no matter how much one tries to make amends ('Aunque los platos pagues'), some things can never be undone. This sets a tone of introspection and acceptance of life's irreversible moments.

The recurring mention of 'carnavales' symbolizes the cyclical and often superficial nature of social interactions and celebrations. The line 'amigos como treguas, amistades con fraude' suggests that friendships can be temporary and deceitful, offering only temporary solace. The carnival, a time of masks and disguises, serves as a metaphor for the facades people maintain in their relationships and the transient joy they bring.

As the song progresses, it touches on the inevitability of death and the desire for a simple, natural end ('yo no quiero una piedra encima de mi, solo quiero tierra'). The imagery of being embraced by fruit trees' roots ('que sus tiernas raizes me comprendan') evokes a return to nature and a longing for understanding and peace in the afterlife. The final verses, 'voy derecho al desguace con mi nuevo disfraz,' highlight the acceptance of one's fate and the absurdity of life's final dance, where even in the face of death, the carnival continues, albeit with a sense of resignation and irony.
