Mentira

The song 'Mentira' by Bbs Paranoicos delves into the themes of deception, resistance, and existential struggle within a constraining system. The title itself, 'Mentira,' which translates to 'Lie,' sets the tone for the song's exploration of falsehoods and the oppressive nature of societal structures. The lyrics express a sense of disillusionment and frustration with a system that imposes itself on individuals, making it difficult for them to think freely and live authentically.

In the first verse, the lyrics describe a system that is difficult to enter and understand, with words that fall to the ground and questions about one's own body and mind. The imagery of words falling to the ground suggests a loss of meaning and communication, while the questions about the body and mind reflect a deeper existential crisis. The resistance of the mind to comprehend the system's demands highlights the struggle to maintain individuality and sanity in the face of overwhelming pressure.

The chorus raises poignant questions about existence and survival within this oppressive system. The repeated questions 'como podemos vivir' (how can we live) and 'como tendre q morir' (how will I have to die) underscore the desperation and uncertainty faced by individuals. The lyrics suggest that the system's constant pressure and interference may be an inevitable part of their destiny, leading to a sense of resignation and hopelessness.

The song's bridge introduces the idea of turning one's back on the system and embracing destruction as a form of liberation. The naturalness of this act implies that it is an instinctive response to the unbearable conditions imposed by the system. The mention of 'disnegacio' (denial) and 'destruccion' (destruction) points to a desire to break free from the lies and constraints, even if it means facing an uncertain and potentially destructive future.
