Te Lo Juro

Arnau Griso's song "Te Lo Juro" delves into the complexities of modern life, where authenticity is often overshadowed by societal expectations and personal insecurities. The lyrics reflect a candid confession of the artist's struggles with self-acceptance, societal hypocrisy, and the pervasive influence of media and marketing. The opening lines, "Creo en el amor propio / He fingido en dormitorios / Donde sentí odio," set the tone for a narrative that oscillates between self-love and self-deception. The artist admits to pretending in intimate settings and extending false gestures, highlighting the internal conflict between genuine emotions and societal facades.

The song also critiques the omnipresent influence of media and marketing, which dictate desires and lifestyles. Lines like "La publicidad me dicta / Cómo hay que vivir / Sé lo que hay que desear / Gracias al Marketing" underscore the manipulation by external forces that shape individual aspirations. This critique extends to political and social structures, as seen in the lines, "Si yo pudiera sería / Un político corrupto buscando la mayoría / El show del parlamento es una falacia," where the artist expresses disillusionment with political corruption and the performative nature of governance.

Despite the pervasive theme of hypocrisy, the song also carries a message of hope and self-improvement. The recurring chorus, "No voy a mentir más te lo juro / He leído y acepto los términos de uso / Decir la verdad puede ser duro / Pero me lo agradecerá el yo del futuro," emphasizes the importance of honesty and the long-term benefits of living truthfully. The artist acknowledges the difficulty of this path but remains committed to it, suggesting a journey towards a more authentic self. The song's closing lines, "Hoy no será el día / En el que entienda la vida," encapsulate the ongoing struggle for understanding and authenticity in a world rife with contradictions.
