Mientes

In 'Mientes,' ALMAS delivers a powerful message of self-empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The song's protagonist expresses exhaustion from the insensitivity and emotional neglect of their partner. The lyrics reveal a journey from feeling invisible and undervalued to recognizing the falsehoods in their partner's words. The line 'Y eso nunca lo vi en el cine' suggests that the protagonist's experience of being disregarded was not something they had anticipated or seen in romanticized portrayals of relationships.

The chorus, 'Mientes dices que lo sientes, pero no lo entiendes de verdad,' highlights the partner's insincerity and emotional detachment. The protagonist acknowledges that their partner's apologies are empty and that they have never truly cared about the pain they caused. This realization leads to a decisive break, as the protagonist declares 'No more cry' and 'Voy a sacarte de aquí,' signifying their determination to remove the toxic influence from their life and move forward.

Throughout the song, there is a strong emphasis on self-worth and independence. The protagonist asserts their strength and resilience, stating 'I need my self, I don't need you' and 'La queen de verdad.' This empowerment is further reinforced by the repeated refrain of 'No me vuelvas a buscar, porque no me vas a encontrar,' indicating a firm boundary and a newfound control over their own life. ALMAS's 'Mientes' is an anthem of self-discovery and the courage to leave behind what no longer serves one's well-being, resonating with anyone who has ever felt undervalued in a relationship.
