Hey Sergio, it's getting kind of hot in here

Sergio laughed for the last time today, He said â??It never really bothered me: we all have dues to payâ?? Like a man that's cut off at the knee, he hobbles and hobbles because nothing is free. So wake up, wake up, wake up but don't cry because you'll fuck up your make up and if you do, you won't get laid, you won't make money, no you won't get paid. So you act so free, you act so free, everybody's happy because you act so free. Well you might fool them, but you can't fool me with your mindless chatter like â??I don't need them, I don't need helpâ?? I don't even need to see the end.

The song "Dear" by Acoustics is a powerful expression of the frustration and desperation felt by someone who is trapped in a cycle of running away from their problems. The lyrics use powerful imagery to convey the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape oneself. The metaphor of "running" is used throughout the song to represent the act of trying to escape one's problems, but never being able to truly escape oneself. The song speaks to the feeling of being lost, alone, and believing that there is no way out.
The chorus of the song is the most impactful, as it calls out to a person named Sergio. The singer pleads with Sergio to get them out of the situation they are in, and it is left ambiguous whether Sergio is a real person or a metaphor for something else. The repetition of the phrase "Hey Sergio" builds with intensity throughout the song, as the desperation of the singer grows.
The final lines of the song are poignant, as Sergio is described as "hobbling" because "nothing is free." This metaphor speaks to the idea that everything in life comes at a cost, and sometimes that cost is sacrificing one's own wellbeing in order to survive. The final line of the song speaks to the idea that even though the singer may appear to be "acting free," they are not truly able to escape their own problems.
Overall, "Dear" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the human experience of feeling trapped and desperate for a way out.
