Spolarium by Eraserheads

Dumidilim ang paligid
May tumawag sa pangalan ko
Labing isang palapag
Tinanong kung okey lang ako
Sabay abot ng baso
May naghihintay
At bakit ba'pag nagsawa na ako
Bigla na lang ayoko na

At ngayon Di pa rin alam
Kung bat' tayo nandito
Puwede bang itigil muna
Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Lumiwanag ang buwan
San Juan Di ko na nasasakyan
Ang lahat ng bagay ay
Gumuguhit na lang Sa 'king lalamunan

Ewan mo at ewan natin
Sinong may pakana?
At bakit ba Tumilapon ang
Gintong alak diyan sa paligid mo?

At ngayon Di pa rin alam
Kung ba't tayo nandito
Puwede bang itigil muna
Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Umiyak ang umaga (hmm)
Anong sinulat ni Enteng at Joey diyan
Sa gintong salamin Di ko na mabasa
Pagkat merong nagbura

Ewan mo at ewan natin
Sinong nagpakana?
At bakit ba tumilapon ang spolarium
Diyan sa paligid mo?

At ngayon Di pa rin alam
Kung ba't tayo nandito
Puwede bang itigil muna
Ang pag-ikot ng mundo

Sa palagay ko this song is refers to Senator Vicente Sotto III who called for the banning of "Alapaap"'s airplay, claiming that the song is drug oriented. The band, however, replied to the allegations through a letter to the lawmaker.

...not sure about this, just my own opinion.

reviving this as we are discussing eheads on the other thread.

Do you guys believe Pepsi Paloma's rape case? I have to give it to Ely Buendia, this song is a big F U to Tito Sotto

I do believe it's true. I remember seeing a pic of joey, vic, and richie being presented to the media. Tapos pinatanggal pa iyong mga articles sa pdi ni tito w/c were discussing pepsi paloma's demise just a few years back.

the details seem to fit too perfectly for it to just be coincidence, too.

Ely Buendia debunks ‘Spoliarium’ myth, shares real meaning behind Eraserheads classic

“‘Spoliarium’ is really one of those cases where the myth has sort of taken over the facts and I kinda like it, I kinda like the myth because the actual meaning of the song is just really mundane,”

He then shared that the song was inspired by the liquor, Goldschläger – which is referred to in the song as ‘gintong alak’ (golden booze).

“We were drinking that, and then ‘gintong alak,’ that’s what it meant. It’s all about getting piss drunk. That’s what it’s about,” Buendia said.

He also revealed that the “Enteng and Joey” mentioned in the song were the band’s roadies – and not comedians Vic Sotto (nicknamed Enteng), and Joey de Leon.
