Dijo El Droguero Al Drogador

Almafuerte's song "Dijo El Droguero Al Drogador" delves into the complex and often hypocritical relationship society has with drugs and addiction. The lyrics are a raw and unfiltered commentary on how drugs are both condemned and perpetuated by various societal structures. The opening lines, "Decir no a la droga es negar a Dios," suggest a paradox where rejecting drugs is equated to denying a higher power, possibly highlighting the pervasive and almost inescapable nature of drug culture. The repetition of words related to drugs emphasizes the cyclical and relentless grip of addiction.

The song also criticizes the legal and judicial systems, portraying them as entities that only serve those who can afford their services. Lines like "Doctores de la ley, que no defenderán, sin efectivo en mano o propiedad que embargar" point to a justice system that is biased and corrupt. The imagery of overflowing prisons and dreams of freedom further underscores the failure of these institutions to provide real solutions to the drug problem.

In the latter part of the song, the focus shifts to the media and its role in perpetuating the drug issue. The lyrics describe how news outlets sensationalize drug-related stories, benefiting from the very problems they report on. The line "Noticias vendidas por el controlador" suggests that the media is controlled and manipulative, showing only what benefits them. The song ends on a grim note, with the protagonist isolating themselves in front of the TV, waiting for death, symbolizing a sense of hopelessness and resignation.
