Virus de amor

In 'Virus de amor,' Vertigo uses powerful metaphors and vivid imagery to describe the overwhelming and consuming nature of love. The song opens with comparisons to natural disasters like a tempest and a tornado, emphasizing the sudden and uncontrollable arrival of love. This love is depicted as a force that cannot be stopped, much like a child seeking freedom or the relentless rain overcoming heat. The lyrics suggest that love, once it takes hold, brings both fear and pain, yet it is an inescapable part of the human experience.

The chorus of the song delves deeper into the idea of love as an infection. The singer describes how love has 'infected' their being, senses, and even their 'operational system,' a metaphor for their mind and body. Despite the negative connotations of infection, the singer does not seek a cure. Instead, they embrace this 'virus of love,' indicating a willingness to be consumed by it. The use of terms like 'telaraña fatal' (fatal web) further illustrates the entrapment and inevitability of love's grip.

Throughout the song, Vertigo explores the duality of love as both a destructive and a life-affirming force. The lyrics compare love to an unquenchable fire and a volcano on the verge of eruption, highlighting its intensity and potential for chaos. Yet, there is also a sense of acceptance and surrender. The singer questions the reality of their feelings and the signals they receive, ultimately acknowledging that there is no other truth but the love they feel. This acceptance is encapsulated in the repeated plea to be given the 'virus of love,' signifying a complete and willing submission to its power.
