Tatuado En Mi

Los Pericos' song "Tatuado En Mi" delves into the profound sense of loss and emptiness experienced when a loved one is absent. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of how everything changes and feels like a disguise when the person is not around. The phrase "Tatuado en mi" (tattooed on me) signifies the deep and permanent impact this person has left on the narrator, whose reflection remains etched in their being.

The song uses powerful metaphors to convey the depth of this emotional void. The narrator describes feeling like "smoke suddenly" and only half of what they feel, emphasizing the incomplete and ephemeral nature of their existence without the loved one. The imagery of being a "tourist in my dreams" and a "dog without its owner" further illustrates the sense of disorientation and abandonment. The comparison to a "sea turned into a desert" underscores the drastic transformation of their inner world when the loved one is gone.

The lyrics also touch on themes of addiction and injustice, highlighting the narrator's dependence on the loved one and the unfairness of their situation. The feeling of being a "lost cause" and a "street with no exit" conveys a sense of hopelessness and despair. The song concludes with the narrator acknowledging their indifference and inability to hide their true feelings when the loved one leaves, encapsulating the raw and unfiltered emotions that come with such profound loss.
