Bala Perdida

The song 'Bala Perdida' by Beret delves into the complexities of love, self-awareness, and the human condition. The title itself, which translates to 'Stray Bullet,' metaphorically represents the artist as someone who is lost or out of control, potentially causing harm without intention. The lyrics suggest a deep introspection and a struggle with the concept of love and the pain that often accompanies it. Beret uses vivid imagery to convey feelings of inadequacy and the realization that one must take responsibility for their own happiness and well-being.

The song opens with a contemplation on the nature of love, suggesting that if love were blind, we would only fall for darkness, hinting at the idea that we often love not out of pure affection but out of need. Beret acknowledges his own flaws and the difficulty of fitting into a world that seems to have forgotten him. He expresses a preference for being 'broken into pieces of erased ink' rather than shattered by someone else, indicating a desire to maintain control over his own state of being, even if it means being broken.

Throughout the song, Beret grapples with the idea of self-imposed limitations and the human tendency to call something 'normal' simply because it is common, despite recognizing it as a mistake. He thanks the one who broke him into pieces, as it allowed him to understand himself better. The song concludes with a powerful image of the artist as a 'stray bullet,' suggesting that he is his own worst enemy, with life giving him the same gun he emerged from to 'kill himself again.' This haunting line encapsulates the cyclical nature of self-destruction and the difficulty of breaking free from one's own destructive patterns.
