Mentiras (remix) (feat. Roze)
Ezequiel Llanos
The Comforting Embrace of New Love After Heartbreak
The song "Mentiras (remix) (feat. Roze)" by Ezequiel Llanos is a poignant narrative of consolation and new romantic interest. The lyrics speak to someone who has been deeply hurt by a past lover, someone who failed to appreciate and love them as they deserved. The protagonist of the song positions themselves as a comforting figure, offering solace and a promise of better treatment than what the person has experienced in their previous relationship.
The song's chorus, which suggests telling 'a couple of lies' as excuses to meet and be intimate, implies a clandestine and possibly forbidden nature to this new relationship. It's a call to leave behind the pain caused by the previous partner and to seek happiness in a new, more passionate connection. The protagonist portrays themselves as a better alternative, someone who can provide the love and respect that the other failed to give. The repeated assurances of being 'made to love' the person in pain, and the derogatory references to the former lover as 'ese Gil' (which translates to 'that fool' in English), reinforce the protagonist's intent to uplift and cherish the one they are singing to.
The song also touches on themes of self-worth and the recognition of one's value in a relationship. The protagonist encourages the person to stop crying over someone who didn't value them and to recognize their own worth. The lyrics suggest that the person deserves to be treated like royalty, and the protagonist is ready to provide that level of care and affection. The song is a blend of empathy, desire, and a call to move on from past hurt to a future where one is appreciated and loved correctly.
