Tomo demasiado

In 'Tomo demasiado,' Natos y Waor paint a vivid picture of a life consumed by excess and addiction. The song opens with the protagonist waking up alone in a room littered with liquor bottles, symbolizing the aftermath of his indulgent lifestyle. The lyrics reflect a sense of self-awareness, acknowledging that things are going from bad to worse. The phrase 'demasiados años siempre al pie del cañón' suggests a long history of living on the edge, constantly pushing boundaries and engaging in reckless behavior.

The chorus, 'Tomo demasiado y claro, algún día tengo que parar,' reveals a conflict between the desire to stop and the compulsion to continue. The protagonist admits to being a slave to his vices, unable to break free from the cycle of drinking and partying. This internal struggle is further highlighted by the line, 'Porque cuando vuelve a dolerme, es cuando quiero perderme,' indicating that pain and emotional turmoil drive him deeper into his destructive habits.

Cultural references to luxury brands like Zacapa 23, Dom Perignon, and Prada juxtapose the glamour of high-end living with the grim reality of addiction. The mention of 'más rock and roll que los Rolling Stone' and 'más vicio que un Sex Pistol' adds a rebellious, almost romanticized, edge to the narrative. However, the underlying message is one of entrapment and despair. The protagonist acknowledges that what he thought would make him free has instead imprisoned him, as expressed in the line, 'Acabé preso de lo que pensé que me haría libre.' The song concludes with a resigned acceptance of his fate, raising a toast to his friends while recognizing that they are 'distintos,' or different, perhaps in their shared struggles and unique paths.
