Mi Nuevo Vicio (feat. Morat)
Paulina Rubio
The Allure of a Dangerous Love in 'Mi Nuevo Vicio'
Paulina Rubio's 'Mi Nuevo Vicio' featuring Morat is a song that delves into the complexities of a captivating yet potentially harmful relationship. The lyrics use gambling metaphors to describe the dynamic between the singer and her love interest. The repeated references to playing dice, cards, and dancing tango symbolize the risks and uncertainties inherent in their relationship. The song suggests that despite knowing the odds are stacked against her, the singer is drawn to the thrill of the gamble, which in this case, is the tumultuous relationship.
The chorus, 'Eres mi nuevo vicio,' which translates to 'You are my new vice,' encapsulates the essence of the song. It conveys the idea that the love interest has become an addiction, a habit that the singer finds hard to quit even though it might not be good for her. The acknowledgment of the relationship being a vice indicates a self-awareness about its toxic nature, yet there's an admission of willingly participating in it. The song captures the internal conflict of wanting to leave but being entangled by desire and the excitement of the unknown.
The bridge of the song, 'Si todo se va tan lejos, nada va a volver,' reflects on the point of no return in the relationship. The repetition of 'nada va a volver' (nothing will come back) suggests a resignation to the fact that what's lost in the gamble of love cannot be recovered. The song's narrative is a common theme in many romantic ballads, where love is both the source of immense joy and profound pain. Paulina Rubio, known for her pop and Latin influences, delivers this message with a catchy melody that underscores the addictive nature of the relationship she describes.
