The Eternal Bond of Lovers: A Journey Through 'Amantes' by Intoxicados
In 'Amantes,' Intoxicados delves into the complexities of love and human connection, exploring themes of fate, doubt, and the intertwining of souls. The song opens with a powerful declaration of love, 'Nunca quise tanto a nadie como vos,' which translates to 'I never loved anyone as much as you.' This sets the stage for a deep emotional exploration, as the narrator begins to question the nature of their relationship. The idea that they might be 'amantes que nos separaron,' or lovers who were separated, suggests a predestined bond that has been rekindled, perhaps by fate or coincidence.
The lyrics also touch on the differences between the lovers, symbolized by the contrasting colors of their blood—'tu sangre es verde la mia marron' (your blood is green, mine is brown). This metaphor highlights the uniqueness of each individual while also hinting at a deeper, inexplicable connection that transcends these differences. The line 'pero no me equivoco algo tendremos que ver' (but I am not wrong, we must have something to do with each other) reinforces this idea, suggesting that despite their differences, there is an undeniable link between them.
The song takes a more cynical turn as it addresses modern relationships and communication, 'Somos pajeros andando por la vida mirando y comunicados atraves de porno' (We are wankers going through life watching and communicating through porn). This line critiques the superficial and often disconnected ways people interact in contemporary society. The concluding lines, 'Para querer hay que odiar, para destruir no hay que hacer' (To love, one must hate; to destroy, one must do nothing), offer a paradoxical view on love and destruction, suggesting that strong emotions are inherently intertwined and that passivity can lead to ruin. Through these poignant lyrics, Intoxicados paints a vivid picture of love's complexities, making 'Amantes' a thought-provoking and emotionally charged song.
