Veneno

In 'Veneno,' Ventino delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship, where the allure of a past lover continues to haunt and captivate. The song opens with a reflection on the passage of time and the lingering presence of an ex-partner. Despite the tears and the declaration that they won't return, the memories of the past still hold a powerful sway. This sets the stage for the central theme of the song: the irresistible yet destructive nature of this love, likened to venom.

The chorus emphasizes the duality of this relationship. The repeated lines 'Por tu culpa y por tu juego, juego / Yo me quemo en tu fuego, fuego' highlight the blame placed on the ex-lover for the emotional turmoil. The metaphor of burning in their fire and the reference to their 'veneno' (venom) underscore the addictive and harmful nature of this connection. Despite recognizing the pain, there's an undeniable pull to keep experiencing it, as if the venom is something they can't help but crave.

The lyrics also explore the physical and emotional toll of this toxic love. Phrases like 'Me hace daño, se me daña el sistema' (It hurts me, it damages my system) and 'Mi noche se quedó sin estrellas' (My night was left without stars) paint a vivid picture of the suffering and emptiness felt. Yet, there's a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges the difficulty of moving on. The song concludes with a mix of defiance and weariness, as the singer contemplates the possibility of new love while still grappling with the remnants of the past.

'Veneno' is a poignant exploration of the push and pull of toxic relationships, capturing the pain, addiction, and lingering effects of a love that is both captivating and destructive.
