Pa Comerte

Cyclo's song 'Pa Comerte' delves into the complexities of a passionate and forbidden love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both intoxicating and painful. The protagonist is deeply affected by the presence of their beloved, reigniting feelings that had been buried. This love is described as something that makes life worth living, even though it is fraught with obstacles and prohibitions. The line 'Aunque esté prohibido te escribo: Te amo' (Even though it's forbidden, I write to you: I love you) encapsulates the essence of this forbidden love, highlighting the internal conflict and the irresistible pull towards the beloved.

The song is rich with metaphors and vivid imagery. Cyclo uses the metaphor of a 'cristal mojado' (wet glass) to describe the clarity and distortion of his feelings as he gazes at the stars, symbolizing hope and longing. The recurring theme of wanting to 'comerte' (eat you up) and 'deborarte' (devour you) conveys an intense desire and a need to possess the beloved completely. This raw, almost primal, desire is juxtaposed with moments of tenderness and vulnerability, such as when he asks for a kiss even though it might hurt.

Cyclo's lyrical style is both poetic and direct, blending elements of romance and realism. The song also touches on the theme of memory and the past, as the protagonist is a 'slave to the past,' unable to move on from the memories of their love. The imagery of tracing the beloved's body with a pencil and the difficulty of forgetting them underscores the depth of his obsession. The song's chorus, with its repetitive and hypnotic quality, reinforces the idea of an all-consuming love that is impossible to escape.
