Envenenado

In 'Envenenado,' Bajo Sueños delves into the painful experience of unrequited love and the inevitable end of a relationship. The song's title, which translates to 'Poisoned,' sets the tone for the emotional turmoil expressed throughout the lyrics. The narrator acknowledges that the time has come to say goodbye, highlighting the disparity between their feelings and their partner's desire to forget. This contrast is poignantly captured in the line, 'El amor que yo te entrego y el que solo tu piel podrá probar,' suggesting that the love given is only skin-deep for the partner, while it runs much deeper for the narrator.

The metaphor of poison is central to the song, symbolizing the lingering pain and bitterness that taints the narrator's memories and emotions. The imagery of 'mi perfume envenando el sabor de tus labios' evokes a sense of something once sweet now turned toxic. The narrator pleads for their illusions not to be shattered, even if it means being lied to, as the truth of losing their partner's love would cause their very being to 'naufragará,' or shipwreck. This vivid metaphor underscores the devastating impact of the breakup on the narrator's sense of self.

The pre-chorus and chorus amplify the narrator's desperation and longing for another chance, despite knowing deep down that their partner's desire has waned. The repeated plea, 'No mates mi corazon, no mates mi ilusion,' is a heartfelt cry to preserve the remnants of their dreams and emotions. The song concludes with a resigned acceptance that the love has ended and a recognition that rekindling the relationship would be futile, as the narrator admits, 'no es justo que volvamos, porque no te olvidaré.' This final admission encapsulates the enduring pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from a deeply felt connection.
