Pizzigatos

“Pizzigatos” by Love of Lesbian is a whimsical and metaphorical narrative that uses the story of a Siamese cat named Bala to explore themes of love, adventure, and the complexities of relationships. Bala, described as an urban, lazy, and courteous cat with a fancy collar, decides to leave his familiar surroundings and embark on a journey. His travels take him to various cities like London, Buenos Aires, and Mexico, where he experiences different cultures and realizes that despite the diversity, the full moon shines the same everywhere. This realization brings him back to his home and his formal girlfriend, a white Angora cat.

The lyrics delve into the tension between Bala and his girlfriend upon his return. She is angry and demands to know where he has been, feeling abandoned and hurt. Bala's response is poetic, recounting his adventures and concluding that despite all the places he visited, she remains the best. This part of the song highlights the universal nature of love and the idea that no matter where one goes, the feelings for a loved one remain constant.

The chorus, “Hasta que no cambies, lo nuestro será ciencia ficción,” translates to “Until you change, our relationship will be science fiction,” emphasizing the need for personal growth and change for the relationship to work. Despite this, the song ends on a somewhat resigned note, acknowledging that they are destined or condemned to be together, regardless of whether they change or not. The playful imagery of a fishbone keyboard and a centipede playing it adds a surreal touch, reinforcing the song's whimsical nature. Overall, “Pizzigatos” is a charming and reflective piece that uses the metaphor of a cat's journey to explore deeper human emotions and relationships.
