BILLBOARD (part. Ovy On The Drums)

The song 'BILLBOARD' by Colombian artist Blessd, featuring Ovy On The Drums, delves into the themes of unrequited love and the emptiness of material wealth without true emotional connection. The lyrics express the protagonist's deep yearning and persistent thoughts about a loved one who seems to be out of reach. Despite his efforts, he is unable to find her, which leads to a profound sense of loss and emotional turmoil.

Throughout the song, Blessd uses vivid imagery to describe his feelings. Phrases like 'Tengo el corazón partido, la sonrisa es un disfraz' (My heart is broken, the smile is a disguise) and comparisons to being as 'psicótico como el Guasón' (psychotic like the Joker) illustrate the depth of his emotional pain. The references to luxury items like a Patek watch and a Lamborghini underscore the futility of material possessions when true happiness, for him, hinges solely on being with his beloved. This juxtaposition highlights a common theme in many modern songs where material wealth is portrayed as insufficient for true happiness.

The song also touches on the idea of escapism through substances, as seen in the lines 'El Phillie, tú y yo hicimo' un trío / Fumo pa' olvidarte y má' me acuerdo de lo mío.' Here, Blessd talks about using smoking as a way to forget his sorrows, yet it only makes him remember them more intensely. This element adds a layer of complexity to the song, showing how coping mechanisms can sometimes backfire, further entrenching the feelings of longing and despair.
