Veneno

In 'Veneno,' ASAN delves into the complexities of human emotions and the constant struggle between light and darkness. The song opens with the artist describing his current state as being inside a surreal story, where everything feels too perfect to be real. This sets the tone for a narrative that explores the fleeting nature of life and the transient emotions that come with it. The lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment, as ASAN admits that he might be lying if he says he feels anything deeply, portraying life as a brief journey where everyone is just a passenger.

The recurring theme of seeking escape is evident throughout the song. ASAN expresses a desire to forget and numb his thoughts, asking for another round of 'veneno' (poison) to help him stop thinking. This metaphorical poison could represent alcohol or any other means of escape that helps him balance the dualities of life—symbolized by the Yin and Yang. The juxtaposition of light and darkness, peace and war, and presence and absence highlights the internal conflict and the cyclical nature of his experiences. Every end is just a new beginning, suggesting a perpetual cycle of highs and lows.

ASAN also touches on material desires and the allure of things that are out of reach. He mentions wanting a Mustang in his garage and how intangible things often hold the most appeal. The imagery of drying tears with the wind and the rush of sugar highs further emphasizes the fast-paced, often chaotic nature of his life. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the idea that despite the constant search for balance and meaning, the cycle of forgetting and starting anew continues. 'Veneno' is a poignant reflection on the human condition, capturing the essence of our struggles with identity, purpose, and the relentless pursuit of happiness.
