Mentiras
Adriana Calcanhoto Lyrics

The lyrics of Adriana Calcanhoto's song "Mentiras" express a deep sense of resentment and anger towards an ex-lover who has left their relationship in disarray. The singer is frustrated that nothing seems to be in its rightful place, and they wish to break everything, including the cups. The desire to deceive the devil, wake up the ex-lover's family, write on their wall, and violate their taste shows the extent of their anger and vengeful spirit. The singer then goes on to say that they have already scratched their ex's records in the hope of them returning, looking or even acknowledging their pain. The second verse is similar to the first, with the singer planning more retaliatory and invasive actions. The singer wants to expose their ex-lover's lies, invade their classes, speak their language, and share their secrets with the world. The intention is to bring the ex-lover pain, just as they have caused the singer. They vow to spill their joy on the ex-lover's plans for the sake of revenge.

The use of violent language in the song, such as breaking cups, scratching records, invading classes, and publishing secrets, underscores the singer's strong sense of hurt and need for retaliation. The repetition of the chorus "Que é pra ver se você volta, que é pra ver se você vem, que é pra ver se você olha pra mim" (which means "It's to see if you come back, to see if you come, to see if you look at me") signifies the singer's desperate hope that their ex-lover will eventually return to them, recognizing their pain and regretting their actions. However, this hope is tinged with a desire for revenge, as the singer wishes to see their ex-lover hurt the way they have been hurt.
