Abismo

Caramelos De Cianuro's song "Abismo" delves into the complexities and dark sides of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both suffocating and addictive. The metaphor of the 'enredadera' (vine) that embraces and suffocates symbolizes a relationship that, despite its affection, is ultimately harmful. This duality is further emphasized with comparisons to a prison and a cursed poison, highlighting the destructive nature of this love.

The song continues to explore the paradox of needing something that is damaging. The line "Más me dañas más te necesito" (The more you hurt me, the more I need you) encapsulates the essence of addiction, where the very thing that causes pain is also the source of a twisted form of comfort. The imagery of smoking in bed, where falling asleep could lead to being engulfed in flames, serves as a powerful metaphor for the constant danger and risk inherent in this relationship.

The chorus, with its repeated assertion that "nos separa un abismo" (an abyss separates us), underscores the insurmountable distance and incompatibility between the two lovers. Despite their connection, their paths are fundamentally divergent, likened to two cold and lonely poles. This imagery conveys a sense of inevitable separation and the futility of trying to bridge the gap between them. The song's repetition of these themes reinforces the inescapable nature of their doomed relationship, making "Abismo" a poignant exploration of love's darker, more destructive side.
