Me Gusta Como Hueles

Ilegales' song 'Me Gusta Como Hueles' delves into the dark and often overlooked side of fame and beauty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who was once the epitome of allure and success, but whose life has taken a tragic turn. The opening lines, 'El agua más turbia que puedas beber' and 'La línea más curva que puedas trazar,' set the tone for a narrative filled with contradictions and complexities. The woman is described as 'La chica del año en la facultad,' highlighting her past glory and the high expectations placed upon her.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the woman's external beauty and societal status are a facade masking deeper issues. The line 'Gastabas cada día una fortuna en cosméticos, y objetos extraños que no usabas jamás' suggests a futile attempt to maintain an image, while 'Animal de celuloide, tus propios pensamientos quieren asesinarte' reveals her internal struggle. The repeated refrain 'Me gusta como hueles; ponte a salvo' serves as a poignant reminder of her humanity and the need for self-preservation amidst the chaos.

The final verse is particularly haunting, as it describes the woman's descent into mental instability and her eventual search for an escape. 'Alguna oscura conexión te lleva con frecuencia al psiquiátrico' and 'tus partes médicos profecías alarmantes' indicate a life plagued by mental health issues. Her farewell, 'adiós, voy a buscar el paraíso,' is a tragic culmination of her journey, suggesting a desperate quest for peace. Through this song, Ilegales offer a sobering commentary on the fleeting nature of beauty and the often destructive pursuit of perfection.
