La Máscara
Riddim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
debo avisarte: aca todo es así.
Muchos piensan que tu ropa es lo que importa para poder vivir
y figurar con disfraces que no van con vos
no te hace fuerte, te hace un tipo común
diferenciate de todos en tu interior
podrás ver vida a tu alrededor
Porque el fruto es mas dulce en el interior, y amargo en la cáscara
y te quites la mascara.
Y si ves que el sistema no perdona,
y que va de mal en peor,
no penses que el mundo te abandona,
buscá la vida en tu interior.
y figurar con disfraces que no van con vos
no te hace fuerte, te hace un tipo común
diferenciate de todos en tu interior
podrás ver vida a tu alrededor
Porque el fruto es mas dulce en el interior, y amargo en la cáscara
es hora que seas lo que quieras ser
y te quites la mascara.
The song "La máscara" by Riddim is a powerful message about the importance of being true to oneself and not conforming to societal expectations. The lyrics speak to the idea that many people judge others based on their appearance and the clothes they wear, thinking that these external factors are what make a person successful or happy. However, the song encourages listeners to look beyond the surface and find their own unique identity and individuality.
The chorus of the song is especially meaningful, as it states that the "fruit is sweeter on the inside and bitter on the outside." This metaphor alludes to the idea that true happiness and fulfillment comes from within, and that hiding behind a mask or façade will only lead to unhappiness and disappointment. The song encourages listeners to be brave and take off their mask, to be themselves and find their own path in life, even if it means going against the norm.
Overall, "La máscara" is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and to not be afraid of standing out. The lyrics remind us of the importance of individuality and the dangers of conformity, while also urging us to explore our own inner world and find our own unique path in life.
