Amianto
VVV [Trippin'you]
Eternal City of Lost Love and Memories
"Amianto" by VVV [Trippin'you] is a haunting exploration of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The song's title, "Amianto," which translates to "asbestos" in English, evokes a sense of decay and danger, symbolizing the remnants of a past that lingers in the air like toxic dust. The lyrics paint a picture of an "eternal city," a metaphorical space where memories of a past relationship reside. This city, once vibrant with stars, is now reduced to "dust of asbestos," suggesting that what was once beautiful has become hazardous and desolate.
The recurring question, "¿Aún tienes amor por mí?" ("Do you still have love for me?") underscores the theme of longing and uncertainty. The narrator is trapped in a cycle of doubt and yearning, questioning whether the love they once shared still exists. This repetition highlights the emotional turmoil and the struggle to move on from a relationship that seems to have left a permanent mark. The imagery of "dead roads" leading to "other pasts" suggests a journey through memories, where each path leads back to moments that can no longer be relived.
The song's atmosphere is further intensified by the feeling of falling, as expressed in the lines "Porque estoy cayendo" ("Because I am falling"). This sense of descent reflects the emotional weight of the unresolved feelings and the inability to escape the grip of the past. VVV [Trippin'you]'s musical style, often characterized by its ethereal and melancholic soundscapes, complements the lyrical content, creating an immersive experience that resonates with anyone who has grappled with the ghosts of past loves.
