Ciclo Vicioso (part. Yasmin Santos)

“Ciclo Vicioso” by Bruno e Marrone, featuring Yasmin Santos, delves into the tumultuous and repetitive nature of a toxic relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is fraught with betrayal, deceit, and emotional turmoil. The protagonist confesses to being trapped in a vicious cycle of loving, suffering, and cheating, indicating a pattern that is difficult to break. This cycle is described as a dangerous game, where an invented love leads to more steps backward than forward, highlighting the futility and destructiveness of the relationship.

The chorus reveals a moment of painful honesty, where the protagonist decides to come clean to their partner. They admit that the love they professed was insincere, symbolized by the metaphor of crossed fingers during a promise. This act of betrayal is further compounded by the revelation that the protagonist's body, which should have been exclusive to their partner, is shared with others. The partner is depicted as an innocent angel who unknowingly gave their heart to sin, emphasizing the stark contrast between their purity and the protagonist's deceit.

The repetition of the lines underscores the cyclical nature of the relationship, where the same mistakes and betrayals occur repeatedly. The song captures the essence of a toxic love affair, where despite the awareness of the harm being caused, the individuals involved find themselves unable to break free. The emotional weight of the lyrics is amplified by the heartfelt delivery of Bruno e Marrone and Yasmin Santos, making “Ciclo Vicioso” a poignant exploration of love, guilt, and the struggle to escape a harmful pattern.
