Perez

The song 'Perez' by X Dinero is a vibrant exploration of identity, love, and deception. The recurring line 'no me apellido Perez' which translates to 'my last name is not Perez,' suggests a denial of an imposed identity or perhaps a common stereotype. The artist emphasizes hiding 'the genes that women want,' which could metaphorically mean concealing one's true self or qualities that are conventionally deemed attractive. This theme of hiding and identity is intertwined with a narrative of love and betrayal, as indicated by the plea, 'amor no mientas mas' or 'love, don't lie anymore.'

The lyrics recount the artist's childhood love and the transformative impact of this relationship. The woman's gaze 'took away the love,' suggesting a loss of innocence or a pivotal change in the artist's life. The references to being 'bitten' and the world starting to 'cloud over' imply emotional turmoil and confusion, possibly reflecting on the complexities of relationships and the pain of unrequited or betrayed love. The mention of a 'damn bar' and dreams crossing paths could symbolize places and moments where reality and desires intersect, often leading to disappointment or realization.

The song's chorus, with its repeated denial of the surname 'Perez' and the call to hide desirable genes, serves as a powerful metaphor for resisting societal expectations or refusing to conform to superficial norms. The artist's message to 'look for a blue sky for love' and 'don't go back, you will find it' encourages resilience and hope in the pursuit of true love and self-acceptance, despite past hurts and the challenges of maintaining one's identity in a conformist society.
