Leones

Pereza's song 'Leones' delves into the tumultuous and often combative nature of a romantic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are both fighters ('soy un peleón') and yet vulnerable ('no puedo con el sol'). The mention of taking medication hints at the emotional or psychological struggles that the protagonist faces, adding a layer of complexity to their character. The days of the week, particularly Monday and Tuesday, symbolize the ongoing struggle and the difficulty of facing life without the support of their partner ('imposible sin tu voz').

The chorus, 'Somos bichos raros, lentos y asustados,' translates to 'We are strange creatures, slow and scared,' which captures the essence of feeling out of place and fearful in the relationship. The metaphor of 'midiendonos como dos leones'—'measuring ourselves like two lions'—suggests a constant battle for dominance and understanding between the two lovers. This imagery of lions, known for their strength and ferocity, underscores the intensity and passion of their interactions, which often leave them both wounded ('dos heridos graves').

The song also touches on themes of self-destruction and lack of control ('Soy un jugador sin autocontrol'), yet it is balanced with a sense of style and resilience ('pero con estilo like Rolling Stones'). The repeated references to ambulances and spaceships ('ambulancias, naves') evoke a sense of emergency and escape, indicating that the relationship is both a source of deep pain and a desire for transcendence. Ultimately, 'Leones' is a raw and honest portrayal of the highs and lows of love, capturing the essence of human vulnerability and the struggle for connection.
