Mentiras (feat. Catarina)

In 'Mentiras,' Mota JR, featuring Catarina, delves into the emotional turmoil caused by deceit and betrayal in relationships. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of disillusionment and heartbreak, as the protagonist reflects on the lies that have tainted their connections with others. The recurring line, 'Eu já não te sinto a ti,' underscores the sense of detachment and loss of trust that permeates the song. This phrase, which translates to 'I no longer feel you,' encapsulates the emotional distance that has grown between the protagonist and those they once held dear.

Mota JR's verses explore the superficiality and insincerity that often plague modern relationships. He criticizes the behavior of individuals who prioritize appearances and material gains over genuine connections. The imagery of 'calça apertada com o cabelo solto com unhas de gel e com falsas pestanas' (tight pants with loose hair, gel nails, and false eyelashes) highlights the artificiality that the protagonist finds so disheartening. The song also touches on the theme of infidelity, with Mota JR warning against falling for someone who is capable of saying 'I love you' while simultaneously betraying their partner.

The song's narrative extends beyond romantic relationships to include friendships as well. Mota JR addresses a former friend who has also betrayed him, emphasizing the pain of being let down by someone he once considered family. The lyrics 'Quantas vezes dividimos o mesmo prato de comida' (How many times did we share the same plate of food) and 'Quantas verdades contadas por ti e que foram mentiras' (How many truths told by you that were lies) poignantly illustrate the depth of their bond and the subsequent betrayal. Through 'Mentiras,' Mota JR and Catarina offer a raw and honest portrayal of the impact of lies and deceit on personal relationships, urging listeners to value authenticity and trust above all else.
