I Am Loco
Ill Niño Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is weighing down on me, killing me inside
Something I could never be will guide me to the new
Light
Frustrated
Sedated
I pray to myself

God please
Don't take away from me

The only fucking thing
That I learned to believe
I am becoming the monster
You promised to keep him away
Now I feel like he's living in me!!!

Anyway, I could never ever be
What you think is right for me
Are things that I will not believe
I want to start a new life
Get myself a sharp knife
Look into my own life
Kill things I don't like in me

But sometimes I feel ok
And think I'm unique
You always try to critique
I turn my back on it anyway
Sucker! Punk-ass motherfucker!
I am loco!
Te falta un poco!
To get your ass in a choke-hold!

Just kill me - I can't breathe
I am guiding myself right to the end
I can't learn - come to terms
With the sickness that makes me crash and burn

I'm crying, I feel like I am dying but I'm trying
I beg to myself put my pride up on the shelf
Life is not forever
But if life will stay together
I would have a friend in my depression, have an end

But I've been thinking
And thinking always gets me into trouble
But since I have a double personality
I wasn't me you see
Now I'm a refugee
And everything inside of me is just a part of my
Disease!!!

Just kill me - I can't breathe
I am guiding myself right to the end




I can't learn - come to terms
With the sickness that makes me crash and burn

Overall Meaning

"I Am Loco" is an emotional song by Ill Niño that addresses the feeling of inner turmoil and the desire for a fresh start. The opening verse communicates that life is placing a weight on the singer, causing him internal strife. He feels helpless and unstable, seeking guidance from something unnamed that will lead him towards a new light. The frustration and overpowering nature of his emotions has driven him to sedation and prayer for assistance.


In the second verse, the singer rejects the expectations of others and attempts to cut away the parts of his life and personality that he dislikes. He acknowledges that he sometimes feels right, but others are always there to critique and never fully understand him. The line "I am loco" is used to assert his individuality and pacify anyone who would criticize him. The bridge is an admission of defeat, where the singer has succumbed to the disease that controls him. He is searching for a way to cope and overcome, but his thoughts only lead him back to the same problems.
