Ad Nauseam

Los Suziox's song "Ad Nauseam" is a powerful critique of modern consumerist society and the pervasive influence of advertising. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a life dominated by the need to pay from cradle to grave, with individuals trapped in the clutches of relentless advertising. The phrase "tu cuerpo hipotecado" (your body mortgaged) and "un mísero jornal" (a meager wage) highlight the economic struggles and exploitation faced by many. The song suggests that people are reduced to mere consumers, their lives dictated by the pursuit of material goods and superficial happiness.

The song also delves into the psychological manipulation exerted by media and advertising. The lines "Llegar a casa sin ganas de pensar / Sentarse frente al televisor / Y ver caras felices / Vendiéndote ilusión" (Coming home without wanting to think / Sitting in front of the TV / And seeing happy faces / Selling you illusion) illustrate how media creates a false sense of happiness and contentment, distracting people from their real problems. The repetition of "Te están programando / Para obedecer" (They are programming you / To obey) underscores the idea that society is being conditioned to follow and not question the status quo.

The chorus, with its rallying cry "Porque nos quieren joder / Ve contra el poder" (Because they want to screw us / Go against the power), serves as a call to action. It urges listeners to recognize the manipulation and fight against the oppressive systems in place. The song's title, "Ad Nauseam," which means to a sickening degree, encapsulates the overwhelming and nauseating nature of this constant manipulation and exploitation. Los Suziox, known for their punk rock style, use this song to channel their rebellious spirit and encourage resistance against societal norms and consumerist pressures.
