Kerido

Tronic's song 'Kerido' delves into the deeply personal and often painful experience of battling addiction, particularly alcohol addiction, and the generational patterns that perpetuate it. The song opens with a raw and somewhat humorous voicemail, setting a tone of casual yet poignant reflection. The protagonist wakes up on a Sunday morning, hungover and regretful after a night of heavy drinking. This immediate regret highlights the cyclical nature of addiction, where moments of indulgence are quickly followed by remorse.

The lyrics reveal that the protagonist's struggle with alcohol is not just a personal failing but a familial one, inherited from his father. This acknowledgment of a genetic or learned predisposition to addiction adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. It suggests that the protagonist's battle is not just against the substance itself but also against a deeply ingrained part of his identity and family history. The line 'Me lo heredo' (He inherited it) underscores this painful legacy.

The song also touches on broader existential themes, questioning humanity's search for meaning and escape. The protagonist reflects on the irony of humans looking for life on other planets while failing to appreciate the life they have on Earth. This existential musing is juxtaposed with the protagonist's personal struggle, emphasizing the internal conflict between wanting to escape and the desire to live a fulfilling life. The closing lines express a desperate wish to overcome addiction and reconnect with loved ones, highlighting the isolating nature of addiction and the yearning for meaningful relationships.
