Dr. Calypso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
GORDO ES EL QUE ENGULLE
SIN SABER QUE
COMER ES UN SIN FIN
NO,NO FAGOCITES MAS POR HOY
ESPERARE TU SAN MARTIN
CONECTAR LA DROGA VISUAL
ANULARA EL SANO ANHELO DE SOÑAR
TE ALIENARA
CADA VEZ MAS
LO QUE TU VES NO ES FACIL DE INGERIR
APAGA YA Y SAL PRONTO DE AQUI
ALVIDATE, QUE NO VUELVA A OCURRIR
QUERER VIVIR DE LUCES Y COLORES
SOLO VES
UNA SIMPLE DIMENSION
Y PARA TI
YA NO HAY NADA MEJOR
SIEMPRE TRAGAR
A TODA HORAS QUE MAS DA
REALITY SHIT Y
CONCURSOS SIN PARAR
TU ADICCION
YA NO ES UNA DISTRACCION
TU Y EL SOFA
PEGADOS A UN CRISTAL
EL MANDO EN TU PODER
ENFERNA COMPULSION
Y UN SOLO AFAN
DEJARTE ENGAÑAR
MILES DE ANUNCIONS
NO PARAS DE ENGULLIR
ERES UN MASTER
HACIENDO ZAPPING
NO ES QUE ME IMPORTE
TU SITUACION
PERO LO TUYO ES
¡¡ TELEADICCION!!
The song Gordo by Dr. Calypso talks about addiction, specifically addiction to television and junk food. The chorus is a plea to not gorge oneself to the point of sickness, urging the listener to wait until they are hungry again before eating. The lyrics go on to describe the dangers of becoming addicted to the "visual drug," or television. It warns that this addiction will alienate the viewer from reality and stop them from dreaming.
The song also speaks to the power of advertising, encouraging the listener to turn off the TV and not be fooled by the constant barrage of commercials. The verses warn of the danger of becoming a master at channel surfing, always looking for the next distraction. The song ends with a pointed critique of the "tele-addicted" listener, painting a picture of someone who is stuck to the couch with a bag of chips and the TV remote in their hand.
