Buena Droga

La Trampa's song 'Buena Droga' delves into the complex emotions of despair, escapism, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone struggling with insomnia and existential dread, feeling trapped and suffocated by their circumstances. The opening lines, 'Si estás en casa y no podés dormir / Y ya pensás que no querés vivir,' immediately set a tone of deep personal anguish and a longing for relief from the pain.

The phrase 'Buena droga la de pensar' suggests that the act of thinking itself can be a drug, a way to escape the harsh realities of life. This metaphorical 'drug' is contrasted with the idea that there is nothing better than something strong to calm the pain, hinting at the use of actual substances or other forms of escapism to cope with suffering. The song reflects on the cyclical nature of this escape, where even though the last experience wasn't great, something compels the person to return to it, as seen in the lines, 'No fue tan bueno y algo me hace volver.'

As the song progresses, it shifts towards a more reflective and somewhat hopeful tone. The lyrics 'Y ahora pienso que despertar de verdad / Es la forma más feliz de soñar' suggest that true awakening and facing reality might be the most fulfilling way to dream. This realization is accompanied by a rejection of past naivety and a call to hold onto one's dreams and revolutionary spirit, as expressed in 'Yo devuelvo mi túnica de escolar, / La inocencia idiota y el bulevar.' The song ultimately acknowledges the fleeting nature of security and the importance of maintaining hope and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
