Amargo Sabor
BBS Paranoicos Lyrics

The lyrics to BBS Paranoicos's song "Amargo Sabor" convey a sense of confusion and frustration in a relationship or a situation where understanding and clarity seem elusive. The singer expresses the feeling of being unable to comprehend or accept what is happening, despite it being seemingly obvious. They describe a backward movement without being able to see, implying a sense of being stuck or trapped.

The recurring theme of sadness and the desire to break free from it is present throughout the lyrics. The singer acknowledges that sadness cannot bind them, or at least they try to convince themselves of that. They express a hope that the person they are addressing would think the same way, perhaps in an attempt to find solace or understanding together. The phrase "no solo tu eres perdedor" (not only you are a loser) suggests a mutual feeling of defeat or disillusionment.

The lyrics then shift to describe a change in atmosphere or mood, symbolized by the darkening of colors. The line "no todo es como en los cuentos" (not everything is like in the stories) implies a realization that life does not always work out as expected or as depicted in idealized narratives. There is a sense of being stuck in a repetitive cycle, as if reliving a dead or lifeless existence.

The repetition of the phrase "Olvidamos como conversar" (we forgot how to talk) highlights a breakdown in communication and an increased reliance on shouting or screaming to express emotions. However, even that eventually loses its effectiveness, as there is nothing left to say or talk about. This breakdown in communication further contributes to the feeling of being trapped or disconnected.

The repeated line "lamento decir, no vas a morir" (I'm sorry to say, you're not going to die) is a reminder that despite the difficulties and the bitter taste left by the situation, life will go on. Trying to forget becomes an option, perhaps suggesting that moving forward and letting go can be a better choice than dwelling on the negativity. The lyrics convey a longing for a lighter, less bitter existence, captured by the phrase "mejor que vivir con ese amargo sabor" (better than living with that bitter taste).
