Alcohol
HILO NEGRO Lyrics

The song "Alcohol" by HILO NEGRO portrays the singer's obsession with alcohol and how it affects them both physically and emotionally. The lyrics suggest that drinking alcohol helps the body to feel sensations and desires that would usually be suppressed, leading to a state where nothing else matters except for the feeling of alcohol. The first two lines, "Tomar es sentir la sangre, los sueños tu cuerpo" can be translated to "Drinking is feeling the blood, your body dreams." This suggests that drinking can awaken something inside the body and bring a certain sense of excitement and adrenaline.

The next lines, "Alcohol para el deseo, que no te importe que te gusta más, si verte desnudo solo o en fotos, que en la pared cubre los hoyos y huelo el miedo" can be translated to "Alcohol for desire, that you don't care if you like to see yourself naked or in photos, that in the wall covers the holes and I smell the fear." The lyrics seem to suggest that alcohol is used to fulfill desires, allowing the singer to escape from their reality and indulge in their own fantasies. The line "que en la pared cubre los hoyos" suggests that the singer uses alcohol to cover up any holes in their life, and that they are fearful of confronting their problems.

The chorus repeats the lines "Brindo por el alcohol, por el trago que comenzó, termino o no acabó, brindo por el alcohol que en sustancia me acompañó" which can be translated to "I toast to alcohol, to the drink that began, ended or not, I toast to the alcohol that accompanied me in substance." This reinforces the idea that alcohol is the only constant presence in the singer's life, and that they use it to cope with their loneliness and problems.
