Paranoia
Kaotiko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yo me escondo en un rincón, me persiguen p¹allá
los vecinos son espías, una raya p´aquí
aunque igual es cosa mía, me persiguen p´allá.
Hoy me voy a sincerar
pronto lo voy a dejar
mientras pienso como hacerlo
Los colegas se han hartado, me persiguen p´aquí
y me ha dejado la novia, una raya p´allá
la gente me mira raro, me persiguen p´aquí
aunque igual es paranoia, una raya p´allá.
Hoy me voy a sincerar
pronto lo voy a dejar
mientras pienso como hacerlo
saco el saco a pasear. (bis)
Los camellos me persiguen, una raya p´aquí
yo me escondo en un rincón, me persiguen p´allá
los vecinos son espías, una raya p´aquí
aunque igual es cosa mía, me persiguen p´allá.
Hoy me voy a sincerar
pronto lo voy a dejar
mientras pienso como hacerlo
saco el saco a pasear.
Hoy me voy a sincerar
pronto lo voy a dejar
mientras pienso como hacerlo
saco el saco a pasear.
The lyrics of Kaotiko's song Paranoia paint a vivid picture of a state of mind characterized by an irrational fear of persecution. The singer of the song imagines being chased by drug dealers ("camellos"), spied on by neighbors, and abandoned by friends and lovers, all the while struggling to tell himself that it might just be his own imagination ("aunque igual es paranoia, una raya p'aquí").
The chorus of the song suggests a desire for honesty and change ("Hoy me voy a sincerar, pronto lo voy a dejar"), but the singer seems to be stuck in a loop, unable to break free from his delusions. The line "mientras pienso como hacerlo, saco el saco a pasear" (while I think about how to do it, I take the bag for a walk) is particularly poignant, as it seems to suggest a sense of aimlessness and desperation.
Overall, Paranoia is a powerful depiction of a mental state that is all too common in today's society, where social isolation, substance abuse, and anxiety are on the rise. The song's repeated refrain and catchy melody add to its haunting quality, making it a standout in Kaotiko's discography.
