Comodin

The song "Comodin" by No Te Va Gustar, a band known for its blend of rock, reggae, and Latin rhythms, delves into themes of self-respect, personal liberation, and the refusal to be treated as an afterthought. The lyrics convey a strong message of someone who has decided to take control of their life and no longer accept being a backup plan, or 'comodin,' which translates to 'wildcard' in English.

The opening lines set the stage for a declaration of independence, indicating that the speaker has been contemplating a significant change for a while. The phrase 'mi futuro es parte de mi vida' emphasizes that the speaker's future is an integral part of their life, and they are ready to reclaim it. The chorus, 'Entérate con esta canción, No soy más tu segunda opción,' serves as a bold statement that the speaker will no longer be content with being someone's second choice. This is a powerful assertion of self-worth and a demand for respect.

The song also touches on the theme of mental health, as the speaker decides to exchange their current situation for 'salud mental' or 'mental health.' This suggests that staying in a position where one is undervalued is detrimental to one's psychological well-being. The act of 'closing the door and swallowing the key' symbolizes a final and irreversible decision to move on from a toxic situation. The support from loved ones who understand and accept this decision reinforces the positive step towards self-care and personal growth.
