No Me Acaricies El Pelo
Ilegales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

La verdad es violenta
Tu cara mas fría, tus pechos tristes
Ocultan terrores, si dejo de respirar
No será por ti

No me acaricies el pelo
Que tengo poco
Y ninguno de tonto

Tus palabras son cortantes
Como filo de navaja
No te esfuerces en gritar
Porque estoy desconectado

Tus ojos son húmedos
Tu collar es frío
Tu cama es violenta
La verdad es fría

Quiero beber mucho
Quiero hundirme en el desastre
Ahora te acercas
Inútil aventura

No me acaricies el pelo
Que tengo poco
Y ninguno de tonto

Tu boca me lleno
De sabor a menta
Treinta comprimidos

Bastan para saciarte

Tu canto eléctrico
Trabaja contra el frío

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ilegales's song "No Me Acaricies El Pelo" are dark and intense, painting a picture of a relationship that is fraught with danger and desperation. The opening lines describe the truth as a violent force, and the singer's partner as cold and distant, hiding her own fears and terrors. The singer admits that if he ever stops breathing, it won't be because of her.

The chorus, "No me acaricies el pelo que tengo poco y ninguno de tonto," translates to "Don't stroke my hair, I have little and none of it is foolishness." The singer seems to be warning his partner not to try to manipulate him or convince him of her love, because he knows better.

The rest of the lyrics continue this theme of danger and desperation, with descriptions of cutting words and a violent bed. The singer expresses a desire to drown in chaos, and seems to reject his partner's attempts to get close to him on any level.

Overall, the song is a powerful depiction of a relationship that is both passionate and destructive, with the singer struggling to maintain his independence and sense of self in the face of his all-consuming love.
