Las Cremas
Violeta Castillo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dame unos minutos para actuar
y hacer efecto como las cremas.
De tu tocador, del de mamá.
Son puro cuento, son puro cuento.

A los que me piden que componga un mensaje,
qué puedo decirles?
Tengo tiempo de reflexionar
si no presento complicaciones o alergias.
Dame unos minutos para actuar
y hacer efecto como las cremas

A los que me piden que componga un mensaje
Qué puedo decirles?

En ésta confusión
estoy peor que vos.




No entiendo nada.
Y a mi cualquiera me deja helada.

Overall Meaning

The song "Las Cremas" by Violeta Castillo is a reflection on the pressure to constantly present a perfect facade to the world, akin to the way that beauty products such as creams promise to make us flawless. Castillo sings from the perspective of someone who is being asked to compose a message, and feels overwhelmed and confused by the task. All they want is a few moments to gather their thoughts and present the best version of themselves, just as a cream promises to improve our skin in just a few minutes. The repeated line "son puro cuento" emphasizes the idea that these creams and messages are just empty promises, and that there's a constant tension between our real selves and the images we try to project to others.


Castillo's lyrics also touch on the anxiety that can come with publicly presenting ourselves. She acknowledges that she needs time to carefully consider what she wants to say, so as not to present any complications or cause allergic reactions (a clever metaphor for conflicts or misunderstandings). When she says "en esta confusion / estoy peor que vos" she recognizes that everyone around her is also struggling to speak their truth clearly, and that there's a universal sense of confusion and uncertainty. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the challenge of balancing our inner selves with the way we present to the world, and the constant pressure to appear flawless.
