TOA

Ptazeta's song 'TOA' delves into the intricate and often confusing emotions that arise from a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both intoxicating and destructive. The repetition of 'to'a' emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the feelings involved, suggesting a sense of totality and immersion in the relationship, despite its flaws and the pain it causes.

The song reflects on past memories, such as nights in Madrid and Miami, highlighting the contrast between fleeting moments of passion and the deeper, more meaningful connections that seem to have been lost. The reference to 'origami' symbolizes the delicate and intricate nature of their relationship, which, like paper art, can be easily torn apart. The imagery of drinking 'aguardiente de cali' and the mention of specific brands like 'Fila' add a layer of cultural context, grounding the song in a specific time and place while also making it relatable to a broader audience.

Ptazeta also explores the distinction between love and obsession. The lyrics repeatedly assert that 'eso no es amor' (that is not love), suggesting that what the protagonist feels is more of an obsession than genuine love. This realization is bittersweet, as the protagonist acknowledges the pain and the broken heart that comes with this obsession. Despite this, there is a sense of inevitability and resignation, as the protagonist admits they would 'volvería a repetir' (do it all over again) if given the chance. This cyclical nature of their relationship underscores the difficulty of breaking free from toxic patterns, even when one is fully aware of their detrimental effects.

The song's catchy rhythm and Ptazeta's distinctive vocal style add to its emotional impact, making 'TOA' a compelling exploration of the complexities of love, obsession, and the struggle to find genuine connection in a world full of distractions and superficial encounters.
