Mentiras

The song "Mentiras" by Dontcryforhoes delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pretense of indifference that often accompanies it. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where one partner feels neglected and unappreciated, expressing their pain through the refrain that their significant other doesn't care if they're sad and is tired of lies. The song's title, "Mentiras," which translates to "Lies" in English, suggests a theme of deceit and the emotional impact of not being truthful in a relationship.

The artist uses the lyrics to convey a sense of emotional vulnerability, highlighting how small things can affect them deeply due to a lack of affection. This is contrasted with a feigned apathy, as the narrator claims not to care when they're feeling down, mirroring the partner's indifference. The song also touches on the hedonistic lifestyle of partying and substance use, suggesting that these are distractions from the pain of the relationship. The repeated line about being tired of lies and the mention of 'Don't cry for hoes, no time for bitches' indicates a desire to move on from the toxicity and focus on oneself.

The latter part of the song shifts to a more defiant tone, with the narrator asserting that they have moved on and are too busy to return to the past relationship. The mention of 'plugg brasileiro' and 'gang-gang' adds a cultural element, possibly referencing Brazilian street culture or music scenes. The song ends with a resolve to never cry over unworthy partners, reinforcing the message of self-worth and the transient nature of such relationships.
