Falsos Recuerdos (feat. Omar Montes)

Abraham Mateo's song 'Falsos Recuerdos' featuring Omar Montes is a poignant exploration of unrequited love and the torment of longing for someone who may not feel the same way. The title itself, which translates to 'False Memories,' suggests a sense of illusion or deception, indicating that the memories or feelings the singer has are not based on reality but rather on his own desires and wishes.

The lyrics express a deep yearning for a romantic connection that seems to be one-sided. The singer acknowledges that he is creating false memories of a relationship that doesn't exist, and he is tired of imagining scenarios where his affection is reciprocated. The use of social media references, like 'close friends' and 'story in verde' (green story), indicates a modern context where online interactions can fuel these illusions. The singer is aware that the object of his affection might be posting content specifically to get his attention, yet he understands it might be a game that leads to his own suffering.

Despite the realization of this unbalanced affection, the singer can't help but express his love and admiration for the person, describing them as unique and irresistible. The repeated phrase 'Y es que te quiero' ('And it's that I love you') emphasizes the depth of his feelings. The metaphor of the person being a 'diabla' (devil) who takes him to heaven and whose 'veneno' (poison) he would taste again, suggests a toxic yet addictive dynamic. The song captures the essence of wanting someone so intensely that even their harmful traits are seen as alluring.
