Niña Bien
Little Jesus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Viste un fantasma, pero no te creen
Ni te importa lo que ellos piensen
Están trabados, no se sienten bien
¿Qué pasó con todo lo que ibas a hacer?
¿Y los planes del mundo, conocer?
No te importa probablemente
¿Qué más te da decirme la verdad?
Creo que lo que sientes es real
Vienes y vas, todo te da igual
Me gustas por triste y por normal
Llegas a tu casa al amanecer
Es súper claro y no lo puedes ver
Eso te pasa por tratar de ser
Alguien que no eres y no vas a ser
Y si no te encuentro donde la otra vez
Puede que nunca me vuelvas a ver
Y eso te pasa cuando mientes
Y cuando acusas inocentes
No tienes tiempo de ver lo que está más allá
The lyrics in the song "Niña Bien" by Little Jesus describe a young woman who leaves her home in the evening and sees a ghost, but no one believes her. She doesn't care what others think and they are too caught up in their own problems to feel good. The lyrics then ask what happened to all the things she was going to do and see in the world. Even though she probably doesn't care, the singer knows it is late and she is not at her best.
The singer then asks what difference it makes to tell the truth and says that what she feels is real. He likes her even when she is sad or acting normal. The song ends by describing her returning home at dawn, not being able to see clearly because she tried to be someone she is not. If the singer doesn't find her in the same place again, he might never see her again. The lyrics suggest that lying and accusing innocent people doesn't help one see what's beyond.
Overall, the song "Niña Bien" by Little Jesus appears to be a commentary on society's expectations of young women and the pressures they face in trying to conform to those expectations. It is a message of encouragement to be oneself and to make sure not to lose oneself while trying to fit in with others.
