Vamos muy Bien

Obús's song 'Vamos muy Bien' is a vivid portrayal of a night filled with heavy drinking and camaraderie. The lyrics paint a picture of two friends indulging in alcohol, seeking solace and escape from their everyday lives. The opening lines invite the listener to join in the revelry, emphasizing the idea that this night is no different from any other, with no one waiting for them except for the bottles of alcohol they plan to consume. This sets the tone for a night of carefree abandon and temporary relief from their troubles.

The song delves into the physical and emotional effects of their drinking. The protagonist describes the world spinning around them, their incessant talking, and the act of sharing their sorrows with an inanimate object, a worn-out sofa. This imagery highlights the sense of isolation and the need for an outlet, even if it is as mundane as a piece of furniture. The recurring theme of 'litros de alcohol' falling suggests a continuous cycle of drinking, with no end in sight, as they seek to numb their senses and escape reality.

As the night progresses, the lyrics become more surreal, with the protagonist seeing double, encountering animated lights, and mannequins playing pranks. This surrealism underscores the disorienting effects of excessive drinking. The chorus, 'Vamos muy bien, borrachos como cubas, ¿y qué?' (We're doing great, drunk as skunks, so what?), captures the defiant and carefree attitude of the friends. They take pride in their ability to stay on their feet despite their inebriation, and they have no intention of stopping until they can no longer see. The song ultimately reflects a hedonistic pursuit of pleasure and a temporary escape from life's hardships, wrapped in a rock and roll ethos.
