Alas (feat. C.R.O)

The song 'Alas' by DUKI featuring C.R.O delves into themes of despair, loss of faith, and the struggle to maintain sanity amidst a chaotic life. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels like they have nothing left in their heart, symbolized by the line 'I was gonna hung me, en mi corazón no queda nada.' This suggests a deep emotional void and a sense of hopelessness that is further emphasized by the act of cutting one's wings, a metaphor for losing the ability to escape or rise above one's troubles.

The repeated phrase 'Tratando de no enloquecer' (trying not to go crazy) underscores the ongoing battle with mental turmoil. The artists use the act of 'whippin',' which can refer to driving around aimlessly or to drug dealing, as a metaphor for the restless search for distraction or a way out of their predicament. The references to drug use, such as 'Dame el blunt' and 'Clonazepam,' indicate a reliance on substances to cope with the overwhelming feelings and to numb the pain.

The song also touches on the hedonistic lifestyle that often accompanies fame, with lines like 'Tu puta desnuda en medio del show.' However, this lifestyle is portrayed as empty and unfulfilling, only serving to further the sense of disconnection and the need to 'whip' up a facade to hide the inner turmoil. The collaboration between DUKI and C.R.O, both Argentine artists known for their trap and hip-hop music, brings a raw and gritty portrayal of the darker side of the human experience, where the search for meaning and stability is fraught with challenges.
