Buffalo Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como eso fuera poco, un hombre egoista
Que no puede cambiar
Por el supuesto amor
Que me tiene a mi
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Marcelo, Marcelo
Me enganaste
Siega yo por creer en ti
No me heches la culpa a mi
Los hombres siempre van a mentir
Me encontre perdida en sus brasos
Y ahora que todo cambio
Me dejo en pedasos
Alguien expliqueme que le sucedio
A mi pequeno amor
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista
Oh, Oh
Machista, Machista

Me enganaste
Siega yo por creer en ti
No me heches la culpa a mi
Los hombres siempre van a mentir
Ya no me importa el
Su machismo
Me hace mal
Ya no me veo con el
Porque aveces
Se cre de mas
Machista Macista
In Buffalo Moon's song, "Machista," the singer is reflecting on a love that turned out to be disappointing and hurtful. She fell in love with a man who was a "machista" - a male who subscribes to traditional, sexist gender norms - and to make matters worse, he was also selfish and unwilling to change. Despite his professed love for her, his behavior hurt and betrayed her, leaving her feeling lost and broken. The singer reflects on the toxic masculinity that led to their relationship's downfall and urges the person who hurt her not to shift the blame onto her. She realizes that his machismo - his rigid adherence to traditional gender roles - was harmful and no longer wants to be with him.
Overall, the song is a critique of gender norms and the impact they can have on relationships. The singer's experience shows that traditional masculine behavior can be destructive and that it is essential to question and resist such norms. The lyrics emphasize the need for equality, mutual respect, and an end to gender-based violence, highlighting the negative consequences that can arise when expectations are not met.

i am totally agreed, this is the most addictive hook ive heard in awhile, and perfectly under produced... raw and ive actually been listening for years. NPR interview, when was that?
