Drogado
Once Tiros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que droga usa para descansar
como descansa con toda esta peste
denominada la humanidad
es como un cancer que no tiene cura
y ahora es solo cuestion de esperar
que se devoren el ultimo rio
y si tu vieja
compra mas basura y si
tu viejo
compra estupidez
y asi nosotros no le damos laburo
a tanta porqueria
pa que la queres
tanta porqueria
pa que la queres
solo le pido al mundo que me muestre
si es anestesia o si es algo mas
sigue girando cueste lo que cueste
mientras nosotros cinchamos pa atras
y cuando dice que la vida sigue
total pa aca nunca van a mirar
y aunque el planeta ya no tenga pilas
igual jodemos pidiendo de mas
y si se duerme
con tanta guerra y que si
se duerme
con tanta mierda y que si
se duerme
con tanta bronca es porque
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se da
y el mundo no entiende
porque lo joden tanto
si toda la gente
lo vive maltratando
no entiende
que asi es la evolucion
monos bombardeandose
fuera de control
yo le pregunto al resto de la gente
que droga usa para descansar
conto es la dosis, quien la trae
que dice, cual es
cual es la dosis que le pega mal
todos consumen compulsivamente
para escaparse de la realidad
y este imperio que nos tiene adictos
corriendo atras de la felicidad
y si tu novia
compra otra pollera y si tu
tu novio
compra un celular
y tu vecino
vive en el casino
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se droga
con algo se droga, con algo se da
con algo se droga
con algo se droga
con algo se da
The lyrics to Once Tiros's song "Drogado" address the theme of substance abuse and the ways in which people try to escape from the harsh reality of life. The singer asks the world to reveal to him what drug it uses to find rest from the pestilence called humanity. He compares human existence to an incurable cancer and expresses his cynicism towards the future of the planet, suggesting that it is only a matter of time before the last river is consumed and another branch of destruction is inaugurated.
The song criticizes the consumerist culture and the addiction that it fosters. It highlights the irony of people complaining about the world's problems while contributing to them through their compulsive consumption of goods and services. The references to parents purchasing trash and stupidity suggest that even the older generations have fallen victim to this cycle of addiction and that it will continue to affect future generations as well.
The repeated refrain "con algo se droga" ("with something, they get high") emphasizes the idea that people use different forms of escapism, whether it be substance abuse, shopping, or gambling. The song suggests a need for a greater consciousness about one's own behavior and the ways in which it contributes to the destruction of the planet.
