E$Traño Jardín (feat. Gordo Sarkasmus)

Doble Porción's 'E$Traño Jardín (feat. Gordo Sarkasmus)' is a raw and introspective exploration of urban life, personal struggles, and societal observations. The song's lyrics are rich with metaphors and cultural references, painting a vivid picture of the artists' experiences and perspectives. The opening lines, 'Donde manda capital no manda marinero,' set the tone for a critique of capitalism and its dominance over individual agency. This theme is further explored through the imagery of consuming one's own thoughts ('Tengo el coco en las palmas y me lo como entero') and the notion of selling one's soul at a low price, highlighting the dehumanizing effects of a profit-driven society.

The song delves into personal battles and the quest for identity amidst a chaotic environment. The artists express a desire for protection and escape, as seen in lines like 'Quiero un chaleco antimalas' and 'Una pistola sin balas.' These desires reflect a longing for safety and a way out of the constant turmoil. The reference to being a 'Rock star without guitars' and dying 'drogado recordando conciertos y farras' speaks to the disillusionment with fame and the fleeting nature of success. The artists' acknowledgment of their flaws and the city's depressive atmosphere ('La ciudad es triste, tantos deprimidos') adds a layer of vulnerability and authenticity to their narrative.

Cultural references are woven throughout the song, from mentions of Diomedes and Johnny to the influence of Fania and Madvillain. These nods to various musical and cultural icons underscore the artists' diverse influences and the rich tapestry of their creative world. The song also touches on themes of loyalty and betrayal, as well as the harsh realities of life in Medellín ('Puentes y cemento, es Medallo'). The closing lines, 'Goodbye te dejo Lola no tienes la panela,' encapsulate a sense of departure and moving on, leaving behind what no longer serves them. 'E$Traño Jardín' is a powerful reflection on the complexities of life, identity, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a challenging world.
