In their lyrics they criticize with hardness militarism, fascism, bullfighting, racism, animal experimentation, or sexism, among other topics.

It is not easy to classify Soziedad Alkoholika within a specific style of music. Thrash, Hardcore, Metal, Punk... The only sure thing is that its foundation has always been in its strength and speed, displaying a wide and varied selection of influences based on their particular style as shown in their arrangements. With regard to their lyrics, they have always been faithful to the music. Their corrosive and explicit lyrics, full of social commitment and direct protest, have always been one of its main characteristics. This irreverant attitude has brought with it certain problems with the legal system, instigated by the most conservative sectors of the Spanish society.

Nobody has been left indifferent since they formed the group. After their massive hit with their first demo "Intoxikazion Etilica" (1990) where they combine strength and speed, unusual for those times, it was in 1991 with their first LP "Soziedad Alkoholika" that they were able to surprise the specialists in their field and at the same time appeal to a wide variety of followers from all areas of heavy music. Their first official piece of work broke barriers which many had thought to be insuperable among such styles so defined as Punk and Metal, which was a salutary shock for the scene at the time.

Since forming the group, Soziedad Alkoholika has not stopped giving concerts all over Spain, America, Europe, Japan, etc. Having released 8 LP`s, it is one of the independent groups which has sold most in the Spanish market and which has had maximum audience in its live concerts.

Amnesia
Soziedad Alkoholika Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Un día soñé, que estaba vivo y vivo me
Sentía, notaba mi cuerpo era sólido en
Mi interior funcionaba todo, un día
Soñé que mis miembros movía komo
Quería, que pensaba, razonaba e incluso
Hablada, y soñé que pisaba un lugar
Donde a una persona de nombre paz,
Hace tiempo que mataron.

Algunos buscan su descendencia, pero
Ya todo, todo es en vano, porque a esa
Persona no la dejaron procrear, no la
Dejaron procrear.

Un día soñé que la palabra amor, que la
Palabra amor en boca de todos estaba
¿que querría decir? quizás se llamasen
Todos así, un día soñé que con mis
Manos trabajaba, y deformaba todo a
Mi alrededor, mi mente trabajó, de la
Nada hizo brotar ilusión.

Un día soñé, que las personas humildes
Trabajaban komo animales en
Empresas inútiles, para ser más, ser más
Que los demás.

Un día soñé que había ricos y pobres, los
Ricos eran dueños de las empresas y los
Pobres trabajaban en ellas y entre
Ellos se odiaban a matar.

Un día soñé que la palabra amor, que la
Palabra amor en boca de todos estaba
¿que querría decir? quizás se llamasen
Todos así, un día soñé que con mis
Manos trabajaba, y deformaba todo a
Mi alrededor, mi mente trabajó, de la
Nada hizo brotar ilusión.

Un día soñé con alguien del otro sexo,
Nuestros cuerpos se fundieron y al

Sentirnos los dos soñaba que un día
Soñé, y no me acuerdo con que

Overall Meaning

Soziedad Alkoholika's song Amnesia speaks metaphorically about dreaming and experiencing life and its various aspects. The lyrics talk about being alive and feeling the solidity of the body and the functional nature of the body's organs, limbs, and senses. The dreamer moves and communicates freely and encounters a place where someone named Paz was murdered long ago. The lyrics also touch on the concept of procreation and the futility of searching for the descendants of the dead when their right to procreate was taken away.

The song then focuses on the meaning of love and the illusion of working hard to shape one's surroundings. The lyrics highlight the struggles of the humble working-class and the hatred that brews between the rich and the poor, who are often pitted against each other. The dreamer also dreams of someone of the opposite sex, and their bodies fuse together, leading to another dream that they cannot remember.

The song is a commentary on the harsh realities of life, and how dreams and illusions can help people cope with their struggles. The lyrics question the meaning of life and love, the power dynamics of society, and the inherent inequalities that exist. The song's upbeat tone and fast-paced music give way to poignant lyrics that force listeners to question their own existence and the world around them.
