War
A.S.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el pecho acontratempo un pálpito
Me fustiga mi cerebro como un látigo
Me dicen joder Darko siempre lo ves to tan trágico
Y si pudiera ver lo Mágico
No estaría aquí atrapao con estos malos hábitos
Pero a veces puedo hacerlo bonito
Incluso cuando te vomito el hígado, Yo tengo mis truquitos
Estoy rezando por mis ex convictos
Que putas también hay en el convento chico
Que siempre hay alguien más malo que tú mi niño
Si estuvieras en mi coco te daría un Ictus primo
Yo voy a pala y pico, vosotros estáis to fritos
Es M. en un beat del Pablito
Solo hablo con animales Dr.Dolittle
Solo hablo con animales
La FS está llena de Animales
Solo hablo con animales
Porque la FS está llena Animales
Me dejé el corazoncito
Ando alquímico, Haciendo de mi sangre oro líquido
Al final solo ácido sulfúrico
Directo a la cara el público
No sé cuantas voy a repetirte que yo no quiero ser músico
Porque solo escribo si estoy roto no se si me explíco
Antes éramos 2
Ahora solo estoy yo
Vivo entre delussions , e ilusos
Que piensan que siempre tienen la solución
Solo escucho a los demonios que me nublan la razón
Quemando el trujón, tosiendo que se me sale el pulmón
Quieren tener mi don
Pero lo he pagao con mi alma mamón
He estado al otro lado del mundo, he pasao hambre
He estado lejos de este plano ni se sabe
No puedo volver a la calma, vivo en la guerra
No sé vivir en la paz, soy un soldado vivo en la guerra
No puedo coger tu consejo no se que ladras, perra
No se vivir en la paz vivo en la guerra
No se vivir en la paz
No se vivir en la paz vivo en la guerra
Dime como, como lo hago?
No se vivir en la paz vivo en la guerra
R.I.P R.I.P por los que no están aquí
R.I.P por los que no están
Seguimos en primera línea
Vamos a morir por lo que queremos
No estamos haciendo bulto
En primera Línea puto
Siempre en primera línea
The song "War" by A.S.M. is a powerful commentary on the internal struggles of the artist that arise from his experiences with war, addiction, and mental health struggles. The opening lines, "Sabor metálico, En el pecho acontratempo un pálpito" (Metallic taste, a heartbeat out of sync in my chest) describe the physical and emotional toll that the artist's experiences have had on him. He goes on to lament that he is "trapped" in his "bad habits," but also acknowledges that he is capable of moments of beauty even in his darkest times. The artist also speaks about the conflicts within himself as well as with others, both in terms of the people he has encountered and the violent mental struggle he continues to face.
Throughout the song, A.S.M. delivers powerful and raw lyrics that reveal a deeply personal struggle with addiction and trauma. The artist uses vivid imagery to describe the effects of war and violence on his mental state. The refrain "No se vivir en la paz vivo en la guerra" (I don't know how to live in peace, I live in war) is a haunting repetition that reflects A.S.M.'s inability to escape the pain that he has experienced. The song ultimately speaks to the catharsis that the artist has attained through his art, as he remains steadfast in his commitment to his craft despite the trauma he has faced.

This album deserves an award. This is a true masterpiece. This is my 3rd time relistening to it.

Hot tip: you can see a visual flashback of the battle scene in their animated version of Dilemma (4th song after this one, at 1:30), when Shalim is holding...well, no spoilers. ( edit video not in this playlist, search for it separately) This album is truly incredible.
You could seriously make it into a play .. a musical, obviously. Imagine that. It would work, and y'all know it. May have to rewrite the Sirens song/scenes, but that'd be it to make it family friendly. The story just seems so perfectly archetypal.. especially the VERY end.. no spoilers, but DAMN that hit hard. I'm sure people all over would love it, maybe if they had access to reading lyrics, too, just to generally keep up? I dunno. This just seems like a huge opportunity.. or is that just me? Anyone else think that'd be possible?
Anyways, well done guys, amazing album.
