Heroína

La Fuga's song 'Heroína' delves deep into the harrowing experience of addiction, personifying heroin as a devil disguised as an angel. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's struggle, seeking solace in the drug without fully understanding the grip it has on them. The opening lines, 'Heroína, diablo vestido de angel,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the deceptive nature of the substance that promises relief but delivers destruction.

The song continues to explore the duality of heroin, acknowledging both the temporary highs ('penas y alegrías') and the inevitable downfall ('vas matando poco a poco'). The protagonist's awareness of the drug's lethal nature is evident, yet they feel trapped, unable to break free from its 'invisibles rejas.' This metaphor of invisible bars underscores the insidious and pervasive nature of addiction, which ensnares individuals without their full realization.

The chorus's plea, 'Mas chutes no. Ni cucharas impregnadas de heroína,' is a desperate cry for liberation from the cycle of addiction. The imagery of 'cucharas impregnadas' (spoons soaked) evokes the ritualistic aspect of drug use, further emphasizing the depth of the protagonist's entanglement. The song's conclusion, with the protagonist contemplating a future 'podrido por dentro y por fuera,' serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of addiction. La Fuga's raw and poignant lyrics offer a powerful commentary on the devastating impact of heroin, both on individuals and their loved ones, making 'Heroína' a haunting and unforgettable piece.
