Vino
Métricas Frías
A Toast to Life's Struggles and Triumphs
Métricas Frías' song "Vino" is a poignant reflection on life's hardships, fleeting moments, and the solace found in companionship. The song opens with a dedication to those who have lost their freedom, perhaps due to societal constraints or personal choices, and to the nights filled with both madness and maternal blessings. This duality sets the tone for the song, highlighting the constant balance between risk and reward, struggle and victory.
The lyrics delve into the sacrifices made and the pride that must be buried to achieve success. The artist acknowledges the transient nature of life, urging listeners to embrace the present and cherish the moments they have with loved ones. This is encapsulated in the lines, "Todo se va en un parpadeo / Por eso abrázame si puedes, que luego será un espanto," which translate to "Everything goes in a blink / So hug me if you can, because later it will be a fright." The song also touches on the artist's personal experiences and observations, from the impact of the '90s drug culture to the superficiality of online interactions.
The recurring chorus, "Tengo un vino y dos cigarros / Ven y siéntate conmigo / Y cuéntame esas penas / Hasta que no quede vino," serves as an invitation to share one's sorrows over a bottle of wine and a couple of cigarettes. This imagery evokes a sense of camaraderie and the therapeutic nature of sharing one's burdens. The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of connection in navigating life's challenges.
