Venenosa

La Beriso's song "Venenosa" delves into the complexities and dangers of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both irresistible and harmful. The singer grapples with the paradox of being drawn to someone who is ultimately destructive. The opening lines, "¿Como mirarte a los ojos si no estás? / ¿Como cantarle a tu sombra si te vas?" reflect a sense of loss and longing, highlighting the emotional turmoil of loving someone who is not fully present or committed.

The metaphor of drowning in someone's mouth, described as "la trampa más peligrosa," underscores the perilous nature of this love. The comparison of the lover to a "gata rabiosa" (rabid cat) further emphasizes the danger and unpredictability of the relationship. Despite recognizing the toxicity, the singer is still captivated by the allure, describing the lover as "rica pero venenosa" (delicious but poisonous). This duality captures the essence of many toxic relationships, where the pleasure and pain are intertwined.

The song also touches on themes of fear and mortality, with lines like "¿Como ganarle a la muerte?" and "¿Como vivir sin miedo?" These questions suggest a deeper existential struggle, as the singer seeks to understand how to navigate life and love without being consumed by fear. The repeated refrain of "rica pero venenosa" serves as a haunting reminder of the seductive yet dangerous nature of the relationship. La Beriso's raw and emotive delivery adds to the intensity of the song, making it a powerful exploration of the darker side of love.
