Xanax (feat. Neo Pistéa y Ysy A)

DUKI's song 'Xanax,' featuring Neo Pistéa and Ysy A, delves into the complex and often dark world of substance abuse and escapism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle dominated by drug use, particularly focusing on Xanax, a prescription medication often misused for its calming effects. The repeated references to various pills and their effects on the body highlight a sense of dependency and the desire to escape from reality. The line 'Sana que sana, dame otra dosis de xanax' (Heal, heal, give me another dose of Xanax) underscores the belief that these substances can temporarily heal emotional or physical pain, even if just for a moment.

The song also touches on themes of fame and the pressures that come with it. DUKI and his collaborators mention their wealth and status, but these are juxtaposed with the hollow and often destructive nature of their coping mechanisms. The lyrics 'Ella odia mi fama' (She hates my fame) and 'Yo no compro, a mí me pagan' (I don't buy, they pay me) reflect the duality of their lives—public adoration and private turmoil. The use of metaphors like 'dopado con la piel amarilla' (doped with yellow skin) suggests the physical toll that drug abuse takes, further emphasizing the destructive cycle they are caught in.

Cultural references also play a significant role in the song. Mentions of 'Tony the kid' and 'wanakin' (a play on Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars) add layers of meaning, suggesting a sense of invincibility and rebellion. However, these references also serve to highlight the fantasy world that the artists are trying to escape into, away from the harsh realities of their lives. The song's raw and unfiltered portrayal of drug use, fame, and the search for solace makes it a poignant commentary on the struggles faced by many in the music industry and beyond.
