Estado Enfermo

Soziedad Alkoholika's song 'Estado Enfermo' is a powerful and raw commentary on the brutal realities of state oppression and corruption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a society plagued by abuses, pressures, torture, and brutality. The scars left behind serve as a haunting reminder of a violent past, where interrogations end with a bullet to the skull, symbolizing the end of a nightmare for the victims. This imagery sets the tone for the song, highlighting the severe human rights violations that have occurred.

The repeated mention of 'desaparecidos' (the disappeared) underscores the attempts to hide the truth that is already in the air, something that cannot be stopped. This term is historically significant, especially in Latin American contexts, where many people were forcibly disappeared by authoritarian regimes. The song captures the ongoing grief and anger of those left behind, whose hearts continue to cry for their lost loved ones. The lies that silence reason and the tears that flood everything with hatred reflect the deep emotional and psychological scars inflicted on the community.

The song also criticizes the corrupt and degenerate state, poisoned by a lust for power. The imagery of blood running through the sewers of a sick state is a powerful metaphor for the systemic corruption and the suppression of freedom. The terror described in the song is not just physical but also political, wearing a tie and kissing the Pope, symbolizing the hypocrisy and complicity of those in power. 'Estado Enfermo' is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and freedom in the face of oppressive regimes.
