Un Vicio Caro Es El Amor

DLD's song 'Un Vicio Caro Es El Amor' delves into the tumultuous and often painful experience of love, portraying it as an expensive addiction. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a lost love, enveloped in a haze of smoke and alcohol, symbolizing confusion and escapism. The protagonist feels trapped at the bottom, unable to escape the emotional turmoil, and equates the cost of maintaining this 'vice' to the price of life itself. This metaphor underscores the depth of their suffering and the extent to which love has consumed them.

The chorus, with its repeated plea to 'adórame' (adore me), highlights a desperate need for validation and connection. The protagonist questions the value of life without the presence of their beloved, suggesting that death holds no fear if they have already experienced the pinnacle of existence through love. This intense longing and dependency reveal the destructive nature of their attachment, where love becomes a double-edged sword—both a source of profound joy and unbearable pain.

As the song progresses, the protagonist acknowledges the sacrifices made for love, including losing their sense of self. The line 'Puedo no ser el mismo, pero hoy' (I may not be the same, but today) reflects the transformative and often detrimental impact of love. The final repetition of 'Un vicio caro es el amor' (Love is an expensive vice) serves as a poignant reminder of the high emotional cost of love. DLD's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery capture the essence of love's complexity, making 'Un Vicio Caro Es El Amor' a powerful exploration of the human heart's vulnerabilities and strengths.
