Dice

The song 'Dice' by Ciro Y Los Persas delves into the complexities of a relationship that seems to be on the brink of dissolution. The lyrics express a dialogue between two individuals who are caught in a cycle of conflict and reconciliation. The repeated use of 'Dice' (which translates to 'Says') indicates a conversation, or perhaps an internal monologue, where one partner accuses the other of always having an excuse and of being the instigator of provocations that lead to their habitual arguments.

The song suggests a longing for escape from the tumultuous relationship, with one partner suggesting that it might be better to get lost in the 'grey' and stop seeing each other. This indicates a desire to return to a state of emotional neutrality, away from the vibrant but potentially painful 'colors' of their relationship. Despite this, there's a sense of inevitability and compulsion that keeps them coming back to each other, as evidenced by the lines 'Oh, casi no vengo hoy' ('Oh, I almost didn't come today'), which is immediately followed by 'y aquí me ves' ('and here you see me'), showing the pull of the relationship is too strong to resist.

The song captures the essence of a love that is both addictive and destructive, where logic and emotion are at odds. The partners seem to understand that their relationship is not built on love but on a habit that undermines their reason. Yet, there is a powerful force that draws them together, making it difficult to break away. The struggle between the desire to leave for the sake of sanity and the inability to stay apart is a central theme of 'Dice'.
