Mentiras
Pignoise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mentiras
Que no las puedo elegir
Antes que las verdades
Para no hacerte sufrir
Para hacer, para hacer
Que te sientas tan bien
Que te pueda gritar
No me sirve de nada
De nada me vale
Yo te prefiero mentir
Yo prefiero, prefiero
Que no te des cuenta
Y aprendas

Quizás perturbación
Quizás mala intención

Mentiras
Forman parte de tu vida
Te las cuentan cada día
Te alimentan de alegría
Y es mejor decir mentiras
Que luego todo se olvida
Es la mejor medicina
Y es que nunca contaminan
Yo quiero escuchar mentiras

Yo es que me siento tan bien
Cuando no me doy cuenta
Si nada quiero saber
Si no quiero quitar la venda de mis ojos
Y poder mirar
Nadie sabe que encuentra
Si no estas a ciegas
Yo quiero felicidad
Yo prefiero cerrar bien la puerta
A mi parte sincera

Quizás perturbación
Quizás mala intención

Mentiras
Forman parte de tu vida
Te las cuentan cada día
Te alimentan de alegría
Y es mejor decir mentiras
Que luego todo se olvida
Es la mejor medicina
Y es que nunca contaminan
Yo quiero escuchar mentiras

Quizás perturbación
Quizás mala intención

Mentiras
Forman parte de tu vida
Te las cuentan cada día
Te alimentan de alegría
Y es mejor decir mentiras
Que luego todo se olvida
Es la mejor medicina
Y es que nunca contaminan
Yo quiero escuchar mentiras (x2)





Yo quiero escuchar mentiras (x4)

Overall Meaning

The song "Mentiras" by Pignoise is about preferring lies over the truth in order to prevent someone from being hurt. The singer admits to choosing lies before truths to make someone feel good, even if it means hiding the reality. The song suggests that lying is a central part of everyday life in which people are constantly fed lies that bring joy and happiness. The song's chorus reinforces the idea that it is better to tell lies, which are the best medicine because they never contaminate, and everything is forgotten.


In the second verse, the singer expresses their sense of comfort when they are not aware and do not want to see the truth, as their blissful ignorance brings them happiness. The singer would rather remain blind to the reality of situations, and even goes so far as to say that they prefer to keep their sincere part locked away to maintain their happiness. The song's final section repeats the chorus and emphasizes the singer's desire to hear lies.


Overall, "Mentiras" is a song about how lying is sometimes preferred to telling the truth, and how society conditions people to believe in lies that bring them temporary happiness. The song highlights the idea that sometimes it is easier to maintain a facade of happiness and live life in ignorance than to face unpleasant truths that could cause harm.
