Anestesia
Supercombo Lyrics

The lyrics of Supercombo’s song Anestesia reflect the band’s reflection on humanity’s natural tendency to pry into the affairs of others. The first two stanzas describe the human inclination towards gossiping and finding out what others are doing, even though it may not involve them. The lead singer acknowledges that he does not believe that this intrusive curiosity is healthy or beneficial.

The chorus of the song, “Anestesia, por favor” (Anesthesia, please) is repeated four times, creating a sense of urgency, and indicates that the singer is looking for relief from his emotional distress caused by this troubling behavior. The title of the song also implies that the singer is not only looking for physical anesthesia but also emotional anesthesia to relieve him of the pain caused by humanity's curiosity.

The third stanza expresses the singer’s realization that this curiosity is not just limited to others as he admits his participation in it. The final stanza repeats the chorus but also adds a sentiment of resentment towards others who are walking in his shoes or doing things he wishes he could be doing instead. Ultimately, the song Anestesia reflects the band’s commentary on society's obsession with the affairs of others and the emotional toll it can take on individuals.
