Cono Hielo (feat. Paco Amoroso)

CA7RIEL's song 'Cono Hielo,' featuring Paco Amoroso, delves into the complexities of love, loneliness, and self-medication. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship where the protagonist finds solace in alcohol, specifically fernet, a popular Argentine spirit. The recurring line 'Saco un fernet, cono hielo' (I take out a fernet, with ice) symbolizes the protagonist's attempt to numb his emotional pain and escape from reality. This act of drinking becomes a ritualistic coping mechanism, highlighting the struggle to deal with inner turmoil and the longing for connection.

The song also explores themes of desire and objectification. The protagonist's admiration for his partner's physical attributes is evident in lines like 'Tu culo decora mi habitación' (Your ass decorates my room) and 'Ella me usa como el logo de Versace' (She uses me like the Versace logo). These metaphors suggest a superficial relationship where physical attraction overshadows emotional depth. The mention of the protagonist's mother giving her blessing adds a layer of irony, as it contrasts with the fleeting and perhaps unhealthy nature of the relationship.

Loneliness is a recurring theme throughout the song. The protagonist admits to feeling broken and alone, as seen in lines like 'Siempre estoy roto, all the time' (I'm always broken, all the time) and 'Yo soy como el sol, estoy solo' (I'm like the sun, I'm alone). Despite these feelings, there is a glimmer of hope when he mentions finding an escape and seeing the clouds from above, indicating a moment of clarity or transcendence. However, the song ends on a melancholic note, with the protagonist acknowledging that his partner's 'frescura' (freshness) is causing him harm, suggesting that the relationship, while intoxicating, is ultimately detrimental to his well-being.
