Kilos de Amor (feat. Natanael Cano)
Tokischa
The Intense Emotions of 'Kilos de Amor'
The song 'Kilos de Amor' by Tokischa featuring Natanael Cano delves into the complex and often dark side of love and obsession. The lyrics paint a picture of a love so intense that it borders on destructive, with metaphors comparing the feeling to a drug addiction. The song's narrator expresses a willingness to become a 'sobredosis' (overdose) that could fatally wound their lover if they were to leave. This hyperbolic expression of love suggests a deep fear of abandonment and a readiness to cause pain as a form of self-defense or retaliation.
The use of drug trafficking terminology ('traficando tanto Kilo de Amor', 'cartel en mi corazón') to describe the weight and business of emotions indicates the heavy burden that love can carry. It also reflects the idea that love, like a drug, can be something one deals in, suffers from, and becomes addicted to. The song's chorus, with its talk of breaking someone's life and burying love even if it leaves the narrator wounded, speaks to the self-destructive nature of this kind of love, where the person is willing to go to any lengths, even if it means their own suffering.
Natanael Cano's verses add another layer to the song, depicting a scenario where the narrator has moved on with other women, yet the emotional turmoil remains. The mention of 'cinco morritas de más' and living life 'siempre al cien' (always at 100%) suggests a facade of moving on, but the repeated lines about not knowing if they want to see their former lover again hint at unresolved feelings. The song captures the duality of wanting to appear strong and unaffected while still being haunted by the past relationship.
