Callar

Mente Enferma's song "Callar" delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of being in a one-sided relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone who does not reciprocate their feelings. The protagonist is aware that their partner does not dress up for them and often leaves with others when intoxicated. This realization brings a sense of helplessness and sorrow, as they do not want to confront the reality of their partner's actions or the faces of those they leave with.

The chorus reveals the protagonist's internal struggle to maintain a facade of happiness to avoid ruining their partner's fun and to prevent inciting their anger. They feel compelled to stay silent and hide their true emotions, even though it causes them immense pain. The repeated line, "Si termino llorando tu no lo sabras" (If I end up crying, you won't know), underscores the loneliness and isolation they feel, as they suffer in silence without their partner's awareness or concern.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's desperation becomes more apparent. They chase after their partner at dawn, only to be left alone and insulted. The relationship seems to be a cycle of emotional abuse, where the protagonist is constantly hurt and humiliated. The final lines suggest that the partner's ultimate goal was to see the protagonist fall, highlighting the toxic and destructive nature of the relationship. "Callar" is a poignant exploration of the pain and heartache that comes with loving someone who does not love you back, and the emotional toll of staying silent in the face of such suffering.
