Nota de Suicidio (part. Soma)

Porta's 'Nota de Suicidio (feat. Soma)' is a raw and intense exploration of the artist's inner turmoil and contemplation of suicide. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has reached the end of their tether, feeling utterly hopeless and seeing no other escape from their pain than through death. The song is a poignant narrative that delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, confronting themes of depression, self-harm, and the desire to find release from suffering.

The song begins with the protagonist waking up to what they have decided will be their last day. The lyrics suggest a deep sense of resignation and a finality to their decision, as they leave behind a note and step out into a solitary, dark, and rainy street. The imagery is powerful, with the streetlights watching over the protagonist as they contemplate the act of suicide. The mention of a cuchilla, or blade, and a pact with Satan symbolizes the destructive thoughts and the perceived inevitability of their choice to end their life.

As the song progresses, the protagonist expresses regret and apologies to their loved ones, indicating a profound sense of guilt and shame. The repeated chorus of 'Salto, salto a un vacío que nunca se acaba' (I jump, I jump into a never-ending void) emphasizes the feeling of falling into an abyss, with life flashing before their eyes and a desperate wish to escape their own existence. The song ends on an ambiguous note, with the protagonist unsure of the day of the week, suggesting a disconnection from reality and a lingering question about whether there is life after death. Porta's storytelling through rap is both haunting and deeply emotional, offering a window into the struggles that many face in silence.
