Mi Perdicion

Rock Bones' song 'Mi Perdición' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the haunting presence of a beloved who remains just out of reach. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is constantly consumed by thoughts of someone they cannot have. The opening lines, 'Amanece y me despierto / Cierro mis ojos abiertos,' set the stage for a daydream-like state where the protagonist is unable to escape the mental image of their love interest. This fixation is so intense that it feels as though the person is physically present, yet they are always just beyond grasp, symbolized by the repeated line, 'Y vos que no te vas / No te vas, no te vas.'

The song's chorus, 'Porque sos mi perdición / Cuando haces tu aparición / En mi torpe corazón / No hay más palabras,' captures the essence of the protagonist's struggle. The beloved is described as a 'perdición,' or downfall, indicating that their presence brings more pain than joy. The protagonist's heart is described as 'torpe,' or clumsy, suggesting a sense of helplessness and vulnerability. The repeated phrase 'No hay más palabras' emphasizes the loss of eloquence and the overwhelming nature of these emotions.

As the song progresses, the protagonist experiences moments of hope and despair. They imagine scenarios where their love is reciprocated, only to be jolted back to reality with the realization that it was all just a dream. This oscillation between fantasy and reality is poignantly captured in the lines, 'Pero llega el momento que / Me demuestra que me equivoqué / Que fue sólo un sueño que otra vez soñé.' The song concludes with a plea for clarity, 'Sueño, o realidad / Decime cuál es la verdad,' highlighting the protagonist's desperate need to distinguish between their dreams and the harsh reality of unrequited love.
