Unknown

Santiago Bermudez Morales' song "Unknown" delves deep into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and the subsequent desire for retribution. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been deeply hurt by a significant other, leading to a state of emotional and mental distress. The opening lines, "I have lived deceived / You catch me everywhere / I want to disappear," set the tone for the song, highlighting the pervasive sense of betrayal and the overwhelming desire to escape from the pain. The mention of pills and the protagonist's pale lips dying of loneliness further emphasize the depth of their despair and isolation.

The chorus, "You hurt me, but I want to return the compliment / I thought about insisting on you, but it means losing," reveals a complex mix of emotions. On one hand, there's a desire for revenge, to make the betrayer feel the same pain. On the other hand, there's a recognition that continuing to pursue the relationship would only lead to further self-destruction. This internal conflict is a central theme of the song, capturing the struggle between wanting to move on and the lingering desire for retribution.

The song also touches on themes of societal judgment and the protagonist's indifference to it. Lines like "Men already hate me / Others look at me / I don't really care what / They expect of me" suggest a defiance against societal expectations and judgments. The protagonist is more focused on their personal pain and the desire to confront the source of their suffering. The closing lines, "I hope you can recover from the damage of your own invention," serve as a final, poignant statement, indicating that the betrayer's actions will ultimately lead to their own downfall.
