CARA DE MALA
Kiddo Toto Lyrics

The lyrics of "Cara de Mala" by Kiddo Toto depict a night out at a disco where the singer notices a girl who exudes mischief and a rebellious spirit. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have had some negative preconceptions about the girl, as he describes himself as being "a little standoffish" or wary initially when he smelled the scent of trouble. However, as the night progresses, the singer realizes that there is no fear in the air, unsure if it even exists. Although there is a sense of danger with the fire igniting, the singer does not see it.

The atmosphere in the disco is described as people dancing with vacant expressions, wanting something more. In this environment, the singer feels a certain connection with a girl who catches his eye and communicates through her eyes, which seem to speak volumes. The phrase "querían love" suggests that they both desire affection or love. However, it is uncertain whether the singer's perception of the girl as "mala" (bad or naughty) is accurate or a figment of his imagination.

The second verse introduces a shift in perspective as the singer describes himself as lost at the party, with thoughts of money and wearing vintage clothes. He compares their compatibility to the characters Tomy and Daly, implying a unique and fulfilling connection. The girl is praised for her captivating eyes, which shoot him like bullets. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and attraction to the girl, describing her as "mala buena," suggesting that although she may have a bad-girl image, there is something inherently good about her.

The singer further indulges in his infatuation, expressing a desire to explore and venture with her, utilizing imagery of sailing on her body like a raft. There is a willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown, even if it means enduring a long wait. The lyrics also hint at spiritual or personal struggles, as the singer mentions having mantras and burdens to let go of. Despite the anticipation, there is hope that the wait will be worth it, indicating a strong desire to be with the girl he perceives to have a "cara de mala."

The final verse expresses the singer's honesty and vulnerability, admitting that he would not lie about his feelings for her. He acknowledges his willingness to go to extreme lengths for her, symbolized by buying her a limousine. The comparison between the singer and the fictional characters Joker and Harley Quinn suggests a complex and intense relationship dynamic. The lyrics conclude with references to indulging in drinks and dancing, emphasizing the girl's captivating yet enigmatic facial expressions, likening her to the ambiguous character Walter White from the TV show "Breaking Bad."
