Guille Asesino

C. Tangana's song 'Guille Asesino' delves into the complexities of attraction and the persona one adopts to captivate others. The term 'guille asesino' translates to 'killer swagger,' a confident and somewhat dangerous demeanor that the artist claims to possess. This swagger is so ingrained in him that it will stay with him 'hasta la caja de pino,' or until his coffin. The song explores how this persona initially draws people in, particularly a romantic interest, but eventually leads to complications and a sense of disillusionment.

The lyrics suggest that the protagonist's 'killer swagger' was the main reason for the romantic interest's attraction. Lines like 'Fue por mi guille asesino que andabas pegada a mí' (It was because of my killer swagger that you were stuck to me) highlight this allure. However, as the relationship progresses, the same traits that once attracted the partner become a source of discomfort. The repeated 'Run, run, run' signifies the partner's eventual desire to escape from the very persona that once fascinated them.

C. Tangana also touches on the internal conflict that arises from maintaining this 'killer swagger.' He acknowledges that he adopted this persona to attract his partner ('Me hice así pa' poderte tener'), but now finds it difficult to shed. The lyrics 'Creo que ya es tarde, No puedo curarme' (I think it's too late, I can't heal) reflect a sense of entrapment in his own creation. The song ultimately portrays the double-edged sword of adopting a persona for the sake of attraction, only to find that it leads to isolation and emotional turmoil.
