Terokal (feat. Cristy)

The song "Terokal" by Antaurus, featuring Cristy, delves into the troubling world of substance abuse, specifically focusing on the inhalation of glue, known as 'terokal' in the lyrics. The repetitive mention of 'terokal' throughout the song highlights the protagonist's dependency on the substance, using it as a means to escape reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young person who is not only addicted but also aware of the consequences, as seen in the plea to not inform their father about stealing the glue from his hardware store.

The song's narrative is a stark portrayal of the desperation and lengths to which the protagonist goes to satisfy their addiction. The mention of everyday items like shoes, toys, and school supplies that need fixing with 'terokal' serves as a metaphor for the protagonist's life, which is in disrepair and in need of fixing. The repeated cries to their mother and the casual mention of joining friends under a bridge to inhale glue further emphasize the sense of hopelessness and the search for solace in a destructive habit.

Antaurus and Cristy use this song to shed light on a significant social issue, often overlooked or stigmatized. The lyrics are raw and unfiltered, providing a window into the life of someone grappling with addiction. The song's structure, with its repetitive and almost hypnotic chorus, mirrors the cyclical nature of addiction, where the need for the substance becomes an all-consuming force. Through "Terokal," the artists bring attention to the harsh realities faced by many, urging listeners to acknowledge and address the underlying issues that lead to such destructive behaviors.
