Café

C.R.O, an artist known for blending elements of trap, hip-hop, and urban sounds, dives into a metaphorical exploration of love, addiction, and the search for meaning in his song 'Café.' The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is lost and seeking something more, whether it be in love or life itself. The opening line, 'Esto no es música, es droga,' which translates to 'This is not music, it's a drug,' sets the tone for the song's theme of intoxication—be it with a substance, a person, or a lifestyle.

The song's protagonist seems to be caught in a cycle of desire and self-destruction. References to dancing with coffee ('bailando con el café') could symbolize an attempt to find energy and purpose, or it could be a metaphor for an addictive relationship or habit that the speaker can't seem to escape. The repeated lines about being 'changed, touching the untouchable' suggest a transformation or a crossing of boundaries that might be both exhilarating and dangerous. The mention of a 'routine that is not healthy' indicates a recognition of the toxicity in their life, yet there's a reluctance or inability to change it.

Throughout the song, there's a tension between seeking love and dealing with rejection ('Frío tu rechazo, sabor a fracaso'), as well as a struggle with societal expectations and personal ambitions ('niño en hacer fajos'). The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, a longing to break free from constraints while simultaneously feeling trapped by them. The artist's raw and honest portrayal of these internal battles resonates with the listener, offering a glimpse into the complexities of human emotion and the often-painful pursuit of fulfillment.
