No cuesta nada

Konsumo Respeto's song 'No cuesta nada' delves into the chaotic and often self-destructive pursuit of escapism through alcohol and reckless behavior. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with disarray, driven by the desire to forget and avoid negative thoughts. The protagonist finds themselves deeply immersed in alcohol, creating a situation where they are on the brink of losing control, both physically and mentally. This state of disarray is not just a momentary lapse but a reflection of a deeper, habitual escape from the discomforts of life.

The song also touches on the paradoxical nature of this lifestyle. On one hand, it offers a temporary relief from the usual malaise, a passionate rebellion, and a heart-pounding thrill. On the other hand, it acknowledges the inevitable consequences of such a lifestyle. The lyrics suggest a fleeting sense of sincerity and clarity that emerges in these moments of intoxication, where the protagonist confronts the dualities of good and evil without feeling disenchanted. However, there is an underlying recognition that this way of living is unsustainable and unhealthy, yet the allure of the thrill keeps them going.

'No cuesta nada' ultimately explores the ease with which one can fall into this cycle of reckless abandon. The lyrics emphasize the simplicity of speaking without thinking and taking risks without considering the outcomes. This carefree attitude can lead to both loss and gain, but the song suggests that the protagonist is willing to take that gamble. The repeated acknowledgment of the unsustainable nature of this lifestyle hints at a deeper awareness and perhaps a longing for change, even as they continue to embrace the chaos.
