Veneno Sabor Miel
El Soldado
The Sweet Poison of Escaping Dreams
El Soldado's song "Veneno Sabor Miel" delves into the complex emotions of a woman who is on the run, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of her escape, breaking free from constraints and leaving behind a life that no longer serves her. The imagery of breaking locks and fleeing into the night suggests a desperate need for freedom, even though she knows it's too late to turn back. This sense of irreversible change is underscored by the metaphor of the train breaking through the night, symbolizing a journey that cannot be undone.
The song also explores the internal conflict of the protagonist. She leaves behind four lines as excuses, hoping for understanding, but the lyrics suggest a deeper realization that the world is not kind to those who are different or angelic. The mention of the devil demanding more and more highlights the increasing pressures and challenges she faces. This duality of being an angel in a harsh world adds a layer of complexity to her character, making her both vulnerable and resilient.
The chorus, "Y ella es un veneno sabor miel," captures the essence of her allure and danger. She is described as a sweet poison that rises like a volcano under the skin, an addiction that the singer cannot quit despite not fully understanding it. This metaphor of sweet poison encapsulates the irresistible yet destructive nature of her presence in his life. The repetition of never being able to stop drinking this poison, without wanting to understand, emphasizes the intoxicating and consuming nature of their relationship. The song beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of love and escape, wrapped in a haunting melody and poignant lyrics.
