Lamento de amor
Panteón Rococó Lyrics

The lyrics to Panteón Rococó's song "Lamento de amor" express the struggle between reason and emotions in the context of love. The singer admits to being constantly betrayed by reason, while their heart takes over and makes it impossible for them to fight against love. The singer reveals their tendency to fall in love with those who do not reciprocate their feelings, causing their soul to cry. The repetition of "No puedo más" (I can't take it anymore) emphasizes the overwhelming nature of this destructive pattern. The chorus repeats the phrase "Vivir así es morir de amor" (To live like this is to die of love), underscoring the idea that such intense experiences of love can be detrimental to one's sanity, wellbeing, and stability.

The singer's melancholic outlook on love is the predominant theme of the song. They express their dependence on the person they love ("Soy mendigo de sus besos" - I am a beggar for their kisses) and their desire to be more than just a friend to them ("Quiero ser algo más que eso" - I want to be something more than that). The song suggests that this type of unrequited love is a cycle that may never stop.

Interestingly, the song switches between the singular and plural forms of "I" (me) and "my" (mi), implying that the singer's experience is both personal and universal. The use of horns and the band's signature ska-punk sound also give the song an upbeat and lively feel, contrasting with the sad lyrics.
