Cupido

In 'Cupido,' Martín Ricca delves into the overwhelming and almost magical experience of falling deeply in love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels utterly captivated and enchanted by their beloved. Ricca uses metaphors and vivid imagery to describe the intensity of his emotions, likening his infatuation to being under a spell or experiencing the effects of voodoo. This sense of enchantment is further emphasized by the repeated assertion that his feelings are not normal, highlighting the extraordinary nature of his love.

The chorus of the song attributes the protagonist's emotional turmoil to Cupid, the mythical god of love. By blaming Cupid for the intense connection between the lovers, Ricca taps into a timeless narrative of love being an uncontrollable force that strikes without warning. The lyrics suggest that this love has left both parties wounded, yet deeply connected, as if they were hit by Cupid's arrow. This metaphor underscores the idea that love can be both beautiful and painful, a duality that many listeners can relate to.

Throughout the song, Ricca describes the physical and mental effects of his infatuation. He feels as though he is constantly spinning, unable to escape the thoughts of his beloved. This sense of being 'amarrado de tus besos' (tied by your kisses) and 'contagiado de tus besos' (infected by your kisses) conveys the idea that love is an all-consuming force that takes over one's entire being. The lyrics also touch on the involuntary nature of these feelings, comparing them to a drug with no escape, further emphasizing the helplessness and intensity of his emotions.
