Mi Vida
Fun People Lyrics

The lyrics to Fun People's song "Mi Vida" portray a sense of displacement and angst. The first line, "Tierra extraña" ("Strange land"), sets the stage for a recounting of the painful experiences that have shaped the singer's life. He is plagued by the "mente odiosa" ("hateful mind") that creates suffering in his world. The singer has grown up amidst violence ("creciendo a golpes") and surrounded by toys ("rodeado de juguetes"), suggesting a childhood that may have been both violent and materially privileged. However, despite these comforts, the singer still feels the need for "locura y muerte" ("madness and death"). These lines convey a sense of emotional numbness and a desire for something more intense to break through that numbness.

The second verse describes the singer as being "endurecido por la decepción" ("hardened by disappointment"). He has had to overcome the pain of superficial friendships ("amigos superfluos") in the face of his own struggles. The repeated refrain of "quiero llorar quiero llorar" ("I want to cry, I want to cry") underscores the singer's sense of emotional pain and the need for release. The final lines of the song - "amigo ayudame otra vez, quiero llorar" ("friend help me again, I want to cry") - suggest a desire for connection and support, but also a sense that these moments of relief are temporary and must be repeated.

Overall, the lyrics to "Mi Vida" provide a portrait of a person who has experienced pain and isolation, but who also possesses a deep desire for human connection and emotional release.
