Droga Eta Biolentzia

The song "Droga Eta Biolentzia" by Anestesia is a powerful critique of societal hypocrisy and the pervasive presence of violence and drugs. The lyrics express frustration with the current state of society, where the foundations of hypocrisy are protected under the guise of law, tradition, and culture. The repetition of the word "biolentzia" (violence) underscores the omnipresence of violence in various forms, whether it be physical, systemic, or psychological.

The song juxtaposes elements like law, tradition, and justice with drugs and violence, suggesting that these societal pillars are intertwined with and perhaps even perpetuate these negative aspects. The mention of a young man who committed suicide after being arrested for smoking marijuana highlights the tragic consequences of a system that criminalizes certain behaviors while ignoring the underlying issues. This story serves as a poignant example of how societal norms and laws can lead to devastating outcomes, particularly for the youth.

Anestesia's lyrics also touch on the idea that the names and labels given to violence and drugs can change, but their harmful effects remain the same. The song challenges the listener to question who is truly responsible for the violence and drug problems in society. By labeling themselves as "drogazaleak eta biolentoak" (drug users and violent people), the band points out the irony and danger of a society that condemns individuals while ignoring the systemic issues that contribute to these problems. The final lines emphasize that violence becomes even more dangerous when it is sanctioned and protected by law, urging a critical examination of the structures that uphold such violence.
