Gordo

Fiskales Ad-Hok's song 'Gordo' paints a vivid and raw picture of a person spiraling out of control due to excessive indulgence and self-destructive behavior. The lyrics repeatedly ask the listener to remember a time when the subject was seen in a terrible state, emphasizing the severity of their condition. The repetition of 'te acuerdas, recuerdas' (do you remember, remember) serves to underline the gravity of the situation and the impact it had on those around them.

The song describes the subject as being 'duro como piedra' (hard as a rock), indicating a state of being unyielding and unresponsive, likely due to substance abuse. The imagery of being 'loco descontrolado' (crazy and out of control) and 'enfermo desenfrenado' (unrestrainedly sick) paints a picture of someone who is not only harming themselves but also causing chaos and distress to those around them. The lyrics suggest a sense of helplessness and frustration from the perspective of the observer, who is unable to reach or help the person in question.

The chorus, 'Eres un gordo enfermo, nadie te puede parar' (You are a sick fat man, no one can stop you), is a harsh indictment of the subject's condition. The use of 'gordo' (fat) could be interpreted as a metaphor for excess and overindulgence, rather than a literal description. The song goes on to describe the subject as someone who has sold everything, even their land ('vendiste hasta el fundo'), and is now facing a 'fracaso rotundo' (total failure). This paints a picture of someone who has lost everything due to their inability to control their destructive behavior. The mention of being 'siempre al lado de Satán' (always by Satan's side) adds a dark, almost demonic element to the subject's downfall, suggesting that their actions have led them to a point of no return.

The song 'Gordo' by Fiskales Ad-Hok is a powerful commentary on the dangers of excess and the devastating impact it can have on an individual's life and those around them. It serves as a stark reminder of the importance of self-control and the potential consequences of losing it.
