Perfume

In 'Perfume,' Jacinto delves into the emotional aftermath of a past relationship, using vivid imagery and poignant metaphors to convey the lingering pain and sense of abandonment. The song opens with a plea to sleep, suggesting a desire to escape the turmoil of thoughts and emotions that plague the narrator. The mention of 'perfume' symbolizes the remnants of the past lover's presence, a scent that lingers and evokes memories, both sweet and painful. The lyrics question the purpose of ambition and courage in the face of such emotional turmoil, hinting at the futility of trying to impress or achieve when one's heart is burdened by sorrow.

The chorus reveals the depth of the narrator's anguish, as they describe themselves as a 'stranger' and 'past' to their former lover. This sense of being forgotten and left behind is palpable, with the narrator feeling like a mere witness to their own life, relegated to the role of an outsider. The repetition of 'tu recuerdo me hace daño' (your memory hurts me) underscores the persistent pain caused by these memories, highlighting the struggle to move on from a love that has left a lasting mark.

As the song progresses, Jacinto addresses the need for calm and the importance of expressing one's emotions without fear. The line 'cuando sin miedo grites que tanta mierda no se reprime' (when you scream without fear that so much shit is not repressed) emphasizes the cathartic release that comes from confronting and voicing one's pain. The song concludes with a reflection on the impact of the past relationship, acknowledging the deep sense of loss and the enduring presence of the former lover's memory. Through 'Perfume,' Jacinto captures the essence of heartache and the struggle to find peace amidst the lingering scent of a love that once was.
