Con Los Ojos de Engañá

Mala Rodríguez's song 'Con Los Ojos de Engañá' delves into themes of deception, survival, and the harsh realities of life. The repeated lines 'Si va a engeñá mirame con los ojos de engañá, Si va a matá mirame con los ojos de matá' set the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of honesty even in deceit and violence. This duality reflects a world where trust is scarce, and one must navigate through lies and threats with eyes wide open.

The lyrics 'Aprendiz de to´, maestro de na´ Pa´ ti nada es todo, pa´mí todo es nada' highlight a sense of disillusionment and the struggle to find meaning in a world where values are inverted. Mala Rodríguez portrays herself as someone who has learned from everything but mastered nothing, suggesting a life of constant adaptation and survival. This sentiment is further echoed in lines like 'Mentiroso yo no vuelvo a finales Rompiendo los cristales estoy,' where breaking glass symbolizes breaking through illusions and falsehoods.

The song also touches on the idea of resilience and self-reliance. 'Y si me han puesto en el tablero Tendré que apostar mi todo mi dinero' speaks to the necessity of taking risks and betting everything on oneself when placed in challenging situations. The imagery of being stabbed in the back and the physical and emotional toll it takes is a powerful metaphor for betrayal and the pain it causes. Despite these hardships, the song conveys a message of perseverance and the relentless pursuit of one's goals, even when the odds are stacked against you.

Mala Rodríguez's raw and gritty lyrics, combined with her unique blend of flamenco and hip-hop, create a vivid portrayal of life's struggles and the strength required to overcome them. The song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of deception and adversity.
