Cientocero

SuperSubmarina's 'Cientocero' delves into the darker side of nightlife and the impact of drug use on personal relationships and self-destruction. The title itself, which translates to 'One Hundred Zero,' could be interpreted as a play on the concept of going from everything to nothing, possibly alluding to the highs and lows experienced by drug users. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a scene where cocaine, described as moving the world and dominating people, is a central element. The substance is metaphorically likened to gasoline, suggesting its ability to ignite intense, often destructive behavior.

The song's narrator observes someone whose eyes dilate, a common physical response to cocaine use, indicating that the person has made a mistake that night. The repeated line 'y sé perfectamente que esto no ha hecho más que empezar' ('and I know perfectly well that this has only just begun') suggests a cycle of behavior that is likely to continue. The mention of talent being wasted as quickly as the wind blows is a poignant commentary on the loss of potential due to substance abuse. The song captures the tension of a night out where looks and gestures replace words, and the cycle of going out and making the same mistakes repeats itself.

The final verse touches on the aftermath of the night's events, with the person in question seeking comfort and safety in a corner, possibly feeling the effects of their actions. The narrator's awareness of the situation and the other person's nervousness and agitation is clear, yet there's a sense of inevitability and resignation to the repetitive nature of these nights fueled by drugs and fleeting connections.
