Suero Casero

AlcolirykoZ's 'Suero Casero' is a song that delves into the raw and unfiltered experiences of life, particularly in the context of Colombian culture. The title itself, which translates to 'Homemade Serum,' suggests a remedy or a concoction that provides relief or an antidote to life's challenges. The song opens with a reflection on the overuse of the word 'hijueputa,' a Spanish expletive, suggesting that its frequent use has diluted its impact, yet it remains a word that can provide a sense of release.

The lyrics are a blend of personal pride, cultural references, and social commentary. The artist boasts about his resilience and authenticity, likening himself to 'Adriano in the favela' and mixing traditional drinks like Hennessy with aguapanela, a Colombian beverage. There's a sense of defiance and pride in his roots, as he claims to educate others through his music. The song also touches on the ironies of Colombian society, such as having the most holidays yet also a high death rate, and the artist's desire to live well as the best form of revenge. The chorus emphasizes a carefree attitude in the face of danger, choosing to drink instead of pray when things go wrong.

The latter part of the song criticizes the superficiality and false promises of politicians, suggesting that the artist's music offers more truth than their entire discographies. AlcolirykoZ celebrates the constant presence of their music, which isn't just seasonal but resonates throughout the year. The repeated lines about thinking while drinking under the shining lights reflect a contemplative state, perhaps mulling over life's complexities. 'Suero Casero' is a toast to authenticity, cultural pride, and the enduring spirit of the people, served with a side of sharp social observation.
