Intoxikacion Etilika

Soziedad Alkoholika's song 'Intoxikacion Etilika' paints a vivid and tragic picture of a man who succumbs to alcohol poisoning in a bar, surrounded by indifferent onlookers. The lyrics recount a real-life event, emphasizing the desensitization of society to such occurrences. The narrative begins with the protagonist lying on the bar floor, seemingly just another drunkard to the patrons. However, something feels off, and the lyrics hint at a deeper tragedy unfolding.

As the song progresses, the man's condition worsens, yet the people around him remain largely apathetic. Some trip over him, others glance without concern, and a few even curse him. This indifference highlights a societal issue where the sight of a drunk person in a bar is so commonplace that it fails to elicit any real concern or action. The lyrics poignantly capture this by stating that most people ignore him because it's 'a thing of the most normal' to see a drunk person lying in a bar.

The climax of the song reveals the man's fate: he dies in the very place he loved the most, the bar. The realization of his death comes too late, and even then, the reaction is minimal. The final lines, where someone suggests taking him outside for some air, underscore the tragic irony and the lack of urgency or empathy. 'Intoxikacion Etilika' serves as a stark commentary on the dangers of alcohol abuse and the alarming indifference of society towards those who fall victim to it.
