Cicuta

In 'Cicuta,' Libido delves into the raw and painful emotions of a person who feels deeply mistreated and is seeking solace. The song opens with a plea for better treatment, as the protagonist's body metaphorically bleeds from the emotional wounds inflicted upon them. This vivid imagery sets the tone for a narrative of suffering and a desperate need for understanding and compassion.

The lyrics continue to explore the protagonist's search for a place of rest, a sanctuary where they can escape the torment they are experiencing. The line 'Mira donde estoy' (Look where I am) underscores their current state of despair and isolation. The use of visceral language, such as 'escupes lo que soy' (you spit on what I am) and 'me arrancas las entrañas' (you tear out my guts), further emphasizes the depth of their anguish and the intensity of the emotional abuse they are enduring.

In a striking turn, the protagonist expresses a willingness to sell their soul and even refers to their desired partner as a 'prostituta natural' (natural prostitute). This provocative metaphor suggests a complex relationship dynamic where the protagonist is willing to give everything, including their very essence, in exchange for some form of connection or relief. The final lines, 'Llévate mi sangre para brindar' (Take my blood to toast), encapsulate the ultimate sacrifice they are willing to make, highlighting their profound desperation and longing for an end to their suffering.
