Tu Veneno (feat. Jhonny Rivera)

In 'Tu Veneno,' Jessi Uribe, featuring Jhonny Rivera, delves into the torment of a love that feels more like a poison than a blessing. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who repeatedly falls into the same painful cycle, trying to forget a love that has left deep emotional scars. Despite numerous attempts to move on, he finds himself ensnared by the memories and the lingering pain of a past relationship. The metaphor of kisses as a drug highlights the addictive nature of this love, suggesting that while it brings temporary pleasure, it ultimately causes more harm than good.

The chorus emphasizes the internal struggle, with the protagonist expressing how this love 'kills' and 'hurts' him deep within his soul. The use of the word 'veneno' (poison) is particularly striking, as it conveys the idea that this love is toxic and detrimental to his well-being. The act of drinking to forget is a common coping mechanism, yet it proves ineffective in erasing the emotional wounds. The repetition of the desire to 'arrancarme tu veneno' (tear out your poison) underscores the desperation to rid himself of the pain and move forward.

Jessi Uribe and Jhonny Rivera's collaboration brings a poignant and relatable narrative to life, resonating with anyone who has experienced the anguish of a toxic relationship. The song's emotional depth is enhanced by its heartfelt delivery and the raw vulnerability in the lyrics. 'Tu Veneno' serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities of love and the enduring impact it can have on one's heart and soul.
