Llamamos cariño a la misma persona de apellido necesidad
Las cosas a golpes se rompen, otras encajan pa' siempre
Soy esa clase de torpes que ni lo quiere intentar
Me hicieron acorde al mundo, pero el mundo ya no se acuerda de mí
Mejor estár hecho a trozos de tinta borrada que a trizas por tí
No quiero que me levantes, la mano vas a ofrecerme
Que solo sea pa' saltar conmigo al desastre para ser feliz
Voy aceptando que el problema es mío después de culpar
Y soy aquel que no puede tenerte porque no cree en la eternidad
Y hoy se dice te quiero esperando un te quiero y eso es demostrar
Si quieres saber quién salvara tu
vida, mírate al espejo y por fin lo sabrás
Vivo la vida más condicionado que de verdad en condiciones
Llamo normal a lo que todos hacen sabiendo que son mil errores
Me pongo límites sin conocerme, sin saber a qué llegará mi mente
Somos humanos que ante los problemas a veces luchan como dioses
Gracias por hacer de mí mil pedazos, así puedo verme mejor
Porque nadie sabe que somos por dentro hasta que duele en el exterior
Ha dado la cara más veces la moneda al aire que por algo yo
Me gustas más rota que cuando te arreglas, así no me mientes, mi amor
Acabé yo mismo susurrando al diablo que estaba en mi hombro y se va
Si solo mejor que mal acompañado, ya me acompaña soledad
No sé que sigue más vacía, la botella o yo, no quiero ni mirar
Quizás elegir en la jaula que vives se puede llamar "libertad"
Tengo más miedo por estar a solas conmigo que contigo y sé
Que al menos hoy tengo en control del desorden que yo solamente cree
Si soy un bala perdida, será porque soy un suicida
Y la vida me otorga la misma pistola de
la que salí pa' volver a matarme otra vez
In Bela's song "Perdida", the lyrics delve deeply into themes of love, pain, self-discovery and growth. The first verse begins with the line "If love were blind, we would only fall in love with darkness", which sets the tone for the song's exploration of how we often gravitate towards relationships and situations that are unhealthy for us. The following line, "We call the same person both love and need", speaks to the cycle of dependence that can be present in these relationships.
The second verse of the song is a reflection on the singer's own struggles with self-worth and fitting in with the world around them. Bela sings that he feels he was made to fit in with the world, but that the world has forgotten about him. He also references the idea that it's better to be broken than to be torn apart by someone else, demonstrating a sense of self-preservation and a refusal to give in to someone else's destruction.
In the final verse, Bela confronts his own fears and doubts, acknowledging that he is often more scared of being alone with himself than he is of being with someone else. The line "If I am a stray bullet, it's because I am a suicide", speaks to the idea that sometimes we sabotage ourselves with the choices we make.
Overall, "Perdida" is a song that encourages listeners to take a deeper look at their relationships and inner selves, and to prioritize their own well-being and growth.
