Veneno
Zoe (Mexico) Lyrics

, Zoe's lyrics in Veneno express the complexity of emotions and paradoxes that arise within oneself and in relationships. The song's repetitive stanzas of "Sobre ti, sobre mi, o de estrellas que se funden" ("Over you, over me, or stars that fuse together") suggest the interconnection between everything, whether it's two individuals, celestial bodies, or even emotions. The following lines explore the various emotions that can arise in a relationship, including fear, resentment, and false indifference. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Hablemos de luces, hablemos de nada" ("Let's talk about lights, let's talk about nothing"), which can be interpreted as trying to distract oneself from heavier emotions by focusing on lighter topics. However, the repetition of "Veneno la confusión, veneno yo" ("Poison is confusion, poison is me") suggests an underlying toxicity within oneself or the relationship, with confusion as the catalyst.

The verses also describe imagery that enhances the song's themes. "Las horas se hacen tibias, se desangran las sombras perfumadas" ("The hours become warm, the perfumed shadows bleed") evokes a surreal yet emotive setting of time losing meaning and shadows becoming literal, perfumed entities. The image of a giant spider and a snowball attacking suggests a sense of overwhelming chaos and confusion that one may feel in a relationship or within oneself. In the end, the lyrics convey a sense of duality - emotions can be both liberating and sorrowful, and relationships are a complicated fusion of various aspects of oneself and the other person.
