Sasha, Sissi y el Círculo de Baba - EADDA9223 (feat. Mon Laferte)
Fito Páez
A Tragic Tale of Love and Madness
Fito Páez's song 'Sasha, Sissi y el Círculo de Baba - EADDA9223' featuring Mon Laferte is a haunting narrative that delves into the complexities of love, obsession, and despair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tragic love triangle involving Sasha, Sissi, and the narrator. The song opens with a sense of foreboding, as the narrator reflects on a morning encounter and the deep love Sasha had for Sissi. This sets the stage for a story filled with emotional turmoil and dark undertones.
The song's narrative takes a darker turn as it describes Sasha's descent into madness. Sissi's rejection at a party drives Sasha to contemplate violence, illustrating the destructive power of unrequited love. The mention of a 'réquiem' for Sasha and Sissi suggests a sense of finality and mourning, as Sasha grapples with his emotions. The imagery of a 'círculo de baba' (circle of drool) and 'medical style' hints at a ritualistic or obsessive behavior, further emphasizing Sasha's mental unraveling.
The song concludes with a poignant and unsettling scene. Sissi's death, attributed to 'hambre y vanidad' (hunger and vanity), and Sasha's subsequent actions, including urinating on the narrator's shoes and smoking a cigarette until it explodes, underscore the themes of despair and futility. The lyrics evoke a sense of inevitability and tragic fate, leaving the listener with a lingering feeling of melancholy. Fito Páez and Mon Laferte's collaboration brings this dark and emotional story to life, blending their unique musical styles to create a powerful and evocative piece.
