AMNESIA (part. Rojuu)
Stiffy
Escaping Reality: The Allure of Amnesia
Stiffy's song "AMNESIA (feat. Rojuu)" delves into the themes of escapism and the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle centered around smoking marijuana, specifically a strain called Amnesia, which is known for its potent effects. The repeated references to rolling and smoking joints highlight a cyclical pattern of seeking temporary relief from reality. The use of the word 'Amnesia' itself is a metaphor for the desire to forget or escape from the burdens and stresses of everyday life.
The song also touches on the transformation that occurs under the influence of drugs. The line "Ella se pone re loca ni bien mi swag aprecia" suggests that the presence of drugs and a certain lifestyle can drastically alter one's behavior and perception. This transformation is further emphasized with the imagery of a woman turning into a 'loba' (wolf), symbolizing a wild, uninhibited state. The lyrics also mention the physical toll of this lifestyle, with the artist humorously noting that he has developed a hunchback from rolling so many joints.
In addition to the themes of drug use and transformation, the song explores the complexities of relationships in this context. The mention of a partner getting upset upon seeing the artist with someone else, and the subsequent justification that it was the influence of 'molly' (MDMA), reflects the chaotic and often tumultuous nature of relationships in a hedonistic lifestyle. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of happiness and the constant search for new highs, whether through drugs, relationships, or material possessions. The repeated refrain of rolling and smoking another joint underscores the endless cycle of seeking escape and pleasure.
