LíBido

The song "Líbido" by the band Libido delves into the complex emotions of desire, betrayal, and the aftermath of a broken relationship. The lyrics speak from the perspective of someone who has been deeply hurt by a partner, yet finds themselves physically reuniting with this person. The repeated encounters are described in a raw and visceral manner, highlighting the physical connection that remains despite the emotional damage that has been done.

The protagonist of the song has learned to cry without tears and to distrust dreams, kisses, and caresses, suggesting a deep disillusionment with love and intimacy. This disillusionment is a result of lies and deceit experienced in the relationship. The use of the word 'libido' in the song title and lyrics signifies a primal, sexual desire that persists even when the emotional bond has been tarnished. The physical act of removing clothes and merging bodies is depicted as an act driven by libido, separate from the emotional connection that once might have been present.

The song concludes with a darker turn, as the protagonist expresses a desire to never see their partner with someone else. The mention of an 'arma' (weapon) and the uncertainty of what they might do with it introduces a sense of potential violence fueled by jealousy and hatred. This intense emotional response underscores the depth of the protagonist's pain and the destructive power of betrayal in love.
