Drugs
Skuba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are my drugs
Oh... woman rescue me
Rescue me
Estou preocupado, machista, valente
aborrecido, egoísta, excêntrico
Precisando de um calmante
Maracugina, alface, dramin
Antes que meu nervos se explodam
Antes que o dia clareie e eu me perca
Disco seu número aflito
Mas você nunca responde
Estou preocupado com a violência
Que eu vejo no vídeo e ao redor
Na política e no futebol
Tomo Coca-Cola e café
Ginseng, guaraná e rapé
E caminho até a sola gastar
Raios de sol que a pele já mancha
A larica agro industrial
Que corrói o meu estômago
The lyrics to Skuba's song "Drugs" are sung in Portuguese and are fairly straightforward. The singer seems to be expressing his frustration and feelings of being out of control. The singer begins by stating that drugs are unnecessary as he has someone in his life who serves as his "drug." He then pleads with this person, presumably a woman, to rescue him from whatever is troubling him.
The second verse speaks to the singer's emotional state. He admits to being worried and lists several negative characteristics he attributes to himself. He names a few "calming" substances, including chamomile tea, which suggests that he's trying to manage his stress in a healthy way. However, he also admits to consuming drugs and other substances, like coke and coffee, to cope with violence and stress in the world around him.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be a reflection of the singer's complicated relationship with drugs and his emotions, and his longing for someone to rescue him from it all.
