Violeta

Melendi's song 'Violeta' delves into the complexities of a love triangle, where the protagonist finds himself in a subordinate position. He acknowledges his role as the 'last in the chain of command' and accepts his fate as a secondary actor in Violeta's life. This acceptance, however, does not come without emotional turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the protagonist's suffering, as he endures the sight of another man hiding in the closet and the knowledge that his kisses will be forgotten by Violeta the next day.

The song is rich with metaphors and imagery. The protagonist compares himself to the color red, which excites Violeta, while the other man is the cold blue. This color symbolism highlights the emotional intensity and passion he feels, contrasting with the detachment he perceives in the other man. The reference to Violeta being the reason his planet is not inert suggests that she brings life and meaning to his existence, even if he is merely an 'eclipse of the Sun' in her life. This celestial metaphor underscores his willingness to orbit around her, despite the pain it causes him.

The recurring theme of suffering and unreciprocated love is evident throughout the song. The protagonist's willingness to endure this pain, even to the point of dying 'a thousand times' for Violeta, speaks to the depth of his devotion. The final plea to not add 'another decimal' to the number of people in Violeta's life highlights his desperation and the limits of his endurance. Despite knowing that Violeta keeps another man 'in the drawer,' he remains devoted, illustrating the tragic nature of his love.
