Tanto Fue

Penyair's song "Tanto Fue" delves into the themes of betrayal, disillusionment, and the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has made grand promises but failed to deliver, leaving a trail of half-truths and broken dreams. The repeated phrase "Tanto fue lo que que nos hablaste" (So much you talked to us) underscores the weight of these unfulfilled promises and the resulting sadness and isolation. The protagonist is now left to face the disaster they have created, having sold out their authenticity for fleeting pleasures and superficial gains.

The song also explores the idea of self-deception and the dangers of fame. The lines "Cuídate de esta fama / Que casi todo es mentira" (Beware of this fame / That almost everything is a lie) highlight the hollow nature of fame and the deceit that often accompanies it. The protagonist is warned about the false friends and conspiracies that come with the spotlight, ultimately leading to their downfall. The imagery of being buried like a mole and the reference to being a "hijueputa" (son of a bitch) who has driven away those who once cared for them further emphasize the depth of their fall from grace.

In the latter part of the song, Penyair reflects on the importance of staying true to oneself and one's roots. The lyrics encourage the protagonist to remember their humble beginnings and the dreams they once had. The lines "Intenta ser el mismo niño / Que fuiste antes" (Try to be the same child / You were before) serve as a reminder to return to their authentic self and avoid repeating past mistakes. The song concludes with an apology to the art form of rap itself, acknowledging any failures and reaffirming a commitment to genuine expression. This introspective and cautionary tale serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of integrity and the consequences of losing sight of one's true self.
