A Tu Lado

Fangoria's song 'A Tu Lado' delves into the complex emotions of a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of disillusionment and emotional turmoil. The protagonist confesses that they are no longer interested in the people who seek their attention and that time has become an adversary they cannot defeat. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of their feelings of unhappiness and betrayal within the relationship.

The song's chorus reveals a stark admission: the protagonist has never been happy with their partner. This confession is layered with a sense of guilt and resignation, as they acknowledge their own infidelity and emotional detachment. The imagery of surviving in a 'personal hell' while their partner struggles in their own 'tempest' underscores the mutual suffering and disconnect. The protagonist's emotional state is so fraught that they are unsure whether to cry or feign a superficial, meaningless smile.

'A Tu Lado' also touches on themes of revenge and betrayal, questioning the reasons behind the partner's inability to accept the truth of their unhappiness. The repetition of phrases like 'so fun, so finished, so boring, so forgotten' in the final verses emphasizes the monotony and emptiness that have come to define the relationship. Fangoria's use of candid and raw lyrics, combined with their signature electronic sound, creates a powerful narrative of disillusionment and the painful realization of a love that has faded away.
