Confessions of Infidelity: A Raw Admission
Luis Alfonso's song "Entramos En Gastos (En Vivo)" delves into the complex emotions surrounding infidelity. The lyrics narrate a candid confession from the perspective of someone who has cheated on their partner. The song begins with the protagonist explaining how the affair started unexpectedly, with the other woman finding her way into his life and bed. He admits that the experience made him feel alive, suggesting a sense of excitement and vitality that was missing from his current relationship.
The chorus, repeated multiple times, is a blunt admission of guilt: "Ya que entramos en gastos, te puse los cachos" (Since we're getting into it, I cheated on you). The protagonist emphasizes that the infidelity was not a result of drunkenness, implying a conscious decision rather than a moment of weakness. He acknowledges that this act does not make him more of a man, challenging the toxic masculinity that often glorifies such behavior. Instead, he points to the coldness in their relationship, suggesting that both partners share the blame for the emotional distance that led to the affair.
The song's raw honesty and self-reflection are striking. Luis Alfonso does not shy away from the pain and complexity of infidelity, instead choosing to confront it head-on. The repeated refrain underscores the gravity of the situation, while the verses provide context and justification, however flawed. This song serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of emotional neglect and the importance of communication in relationships.
