Se Confunden

La Santa Grifa's song 'Se Confunden' delves into the themes of betrayal, deception, and the harsh realities of trust within personal and social relationships. The repeated line 'Han habido veces que la mano a mi me muerden' (There have been times when the hand bites me) sets the tone for the song, highlighting the artist's experiences with betrayal from those they once trusted. This metaphor of being bitten by the hand that one feeds underscores the pain and surprise of being betrayed by someone close.

The lyrics also emphasize the importance of vigilance and learning from one's experiences. Phrases like 'Usted ponga atención pa’ que ninguno lo tumbe' (Pay attention so that no one knocks you down) and 'Tú mejor prende, así se aprende' (You better light up, that's how you learn) suggest that staying alert and aware is crucial to avoid being deceived. The song advises listeners to be cautious and to learn from their surroundings and experiences to protect themselves from harm.

Cultural references and metaphors are abundant in the song, such as 'Como los peces, por su propia boca mueren' (Like fish, they die by their own mouth), which illustrates how people can bring about their own downfall through their actions and words. The artist also touches on the idea of false appearances and the dangers of trusting those who seem trustworthy but are not, as seen in 'Se van con la pinta que son bien rudos, pero de lejos se les mira lo poser' (They go with the look that they are tough, but from afar, you can see they are posers). This line criticizes those who pretend to be something they are not, further emphasizing the theme of deception.

Overall, 'Se Confunden' is a powerful commentary on the complexities of trust and the inevitability of encountering betrayal. It serves as a reminder to stay vigilant, learn from experiences, and be wary of those who may not have genuine intentions.
