Fuera de Cobertura

Malos Vicios' song 'Fuera de Cobertura' delves into the alienation and desensitization experienced in contemporary society. The lyrics describe a transformation towards a state of 'permanent impermeability,' suggesting a growing emotional and psychological detachment from the world. This detachment is fueled by consuming 'inconsequential matter,' which can be interpreted as the trivial information and distractions that flood our daily lives. The song critiques how this constant influx of superficial content creates an 'immunized system' against external realities and moral judgments, leading to a numbness or 'informative anesthesia' that shields individuals from meaningful engagement with the world.

The imagery of being 'labeled and vacuum-packed' and 'isolated in my bubble of vanities' paints a picture of a person who is completely cut off from genuine human connection and reality. This isolation is further emphasized by the repeated phrase 'out of coverage and out of service,' indicating a deliberate withdrawal from societal interactions and responsibilities. The song also touches on the idea of consumerism as a form of escapism, with 'morphine for the middle class' available in every corner and store, suggesting that material comforts and conveniences are used to numb the existential void.

The lyrics also reflect a sense of over-stimulation and over-protection, leading to a state of 'over-idiotized' and 'above all, empty.' This highlights the paradox of modern life, where despite having all needs met and being surrounded by comforts, there is a profound sense of emptiness and disconnection. The song ends with a poignant reflection on the ambiguity of one's status in society, questioning whether one is 'above or below' their possibilities, further emphasizing the confusion and disorientation that comes with modern existence.
