despues de todo se vale bien
solo su placer
no te va a creer
Esta bien que todo marche

Controla los dias con calma de
de locos que mas que mas
me quieren ver sembrando el rastro
que tu dejaste en tono de sol
suelo ver el piso seco
Esta bien que me marche
cuando te buscan me duele
Esta bien que me marche
solo recuerda que
So, solo una vez
The lyrics to Los Drogatones's song "So" depict the internal struggle of a person who is trying desperately to move on from a relationship that always seems to pull them back in. The opening lines "Sueño ver el piso seco / despues de todo se vale bien" (I dream of seeing the dry ground / after all, it's okay to do well) paint a picture of someone trying to leave behind the emotional muck of the past and move forward in a positive way. The repetition of "esta bien" (it's okay) throughout the song signifies that the singer is trying to convince themselves that leaving is the right thing to do, even if it hurts.
Despite this resolve, the song still portrays a sense of longing and pain, as evident in the lines "Controla los dias con calma de / de locos que mas que mas / me quieren ver sembrando el rastro / que tu dejaste en tono de sol" (Control the days calmly / from the madness that wants to see me / planting the trail / that you left in a sunny tone). The singer is struggling against the urge to follow the trail of their partner's memory and is torn between moving on and following their heart.
The song ends on a bittersweet note with the line "So, solo una vez" (So, only once). This could be interpreted as the singer taking one last chance with their ex or as a final plea to move on from the relationship once and for all.
Overall, Los Drogatones's "So" deals with themes of heartbreak, longing, and the internal struggle to move on from a toxic relationship.
