Falso

Oscar Maydon's song 'Falso' delves into the superficiality and deceit that often accompany wealth and social status. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the stark contrasts between the lives of the rich and the poor, highlighting how people’s attitudes and behaviors change based on one's financial standing. The opening lines, 'Si estás abajo, aquí nadie te pela / Si estás arriba, falsos te rodean,' set the tone for the song, emphasizing that when you're down, no one pays attention to you, but when you're up, you're surrounded by fake people.

The song critiques the hollow nature of materialism and social media personas. Maydon points out that despite having money and designer clothes, true 'flow' and authenticity cannot be bought. This is evident in lines like 'Mucho diseñador / Pero el dinero no compra el flow,' suggesting that genuine style and street credibility come from one's experiences and background, not from wealth. The reference to 'vida rockstar en Instagram' underscores the performative aspect of social media, where people flaunt their riches but lack real substance.

Moreover, 'Falso' touches on the theme of loyalty and betrayal. The lyrics 'Le echan la mano, juran quererte / Ya no te ocupan y cuentan pestes' reveal how people who once claimed to be friends can turn against you when they no longer need you. This sentiment is further echoed in the lines 'Compras, amores y también amistades / Dime, mi compa, que es lo que tú haces / Cuando te dejan triste y vacío,' questioning the value of relationships built on material wealth. Maydon's song is a poignant commentary on the emptiness that often lies beneath the surface of a glamorous lifestyle, urging listeners to seek genuine connections and stay true to their roots.
