Pedo Y Cocodrilo
Los Inquietos Del Norte
The High-Speed Journey of Los Inquietos Del Norte
The song "Pedo Y Cocodrilo" by Los Inquietos Del Norte narrates a journey filled with substance use and urgency. The lyrics describe a person who is fatigued and desperate due to business pressures, embarking on a trip to San Bernardino with the hope of business prosperity. Along the way, the narrator meets with friends, delivers six kilos of an unspecified product, and consumes substances to regain energy and focus. The use of the term 'pedo' (drunk) and 'cocodrilo' (crocodile), which is slang for being on a drug high, indicates a state of intoxication and possibly the influence of narcotics.
The journey takes the narrator through various Californian cities, with the lyrics mentioning specific locations such as San Francisco, Oakland, Tracy, and Santa Clarita. The song's protagonist uses drugs for personal use while driving, highlighting a reckless disregard for safety. The mention of listening to corridos, a genre of Mexican music that often tells stories of life, love, and sometimes the drug trade, adds a cultural layer to the song, reflecting the artist's musical style and the themes they often explore.
Upon reaching San Bernardino, the narrator is both drunk and high, seeking rest. However, the trip doesn't end there, as he receives a call from some women in Santa Ana and feels compelled to continue his journey. The song paints a picture of a relentless and hedonistic lifestyle, underscored by the pressures of illicit business and the escape provided by substances.
