Forastero
Eufemia Lyrics

The song “Forastero” by Eufemia is about a feeling of disconnection and disillusionment with one’s current surroundings. The singer expresses a lack of purpose and reason to stay where they are, explaining that their dog has died, their money is gone, and they have been feeling this way for months. They are unsure if their decision to leave is based on conviction or obsession, but they know they need to go. They are tired of not having any friends and only hearing songs about betrayal. They want to leave and follow the light of the city to see what it holds for them.

The lyrics in “Forastero” are a reflection of some common struggles people face, feeling like they're not fitting in, experiencing a sense of loss or disappointment, and craving something that they can't quite articulate - something that offers a change of perspective or a sense of purpose. The song ultimately conveys a sense of hope and possibility in its repetition of the lines “I won't die of anxiety, I'll walk, walk, and follow the light of the city that is meant for me.”
