Mentiroso

The song 'Mentiroso' by Horcas delves into the theme of deception and the struggle for truth in a world where history is often written by the victors. The opening lines, 'Si la historia / La escriben los que ganan / Vos perdés / Es mentira,' set the stage for a narrative that questions the authenticity of the stories we are told. The lyrics suggest that those who lose are often silenced, and their truths are overshadowed by the dominant narrative, which is frequently a lie.

The chorus, 'Mentiroso / Mentiras decís,' is a direct accusation, calling out the lies and the liar. This repetition emphasizes the frustration and anger towards those who perpetuate falsehoods. The song's protagonist is waiting for someone to 'levantes tu cabeza,' or stand up and face the truth, but this person is paralyzed by fear. This fear of confronting reality and the comfort of living in denial is a central theme in the song.

Horcas, known for their powerful and raw musical style, uses 'Mentiroso' to encourage listeners to face their 'magra situación' or dire situation. The lyrics urge not to surrender and to confront the uncomfortable truths rather than accepting the lies that make everything seem 'todo está bien.' The song is a call to action, a demand for honesty, and a rejection of the false narratives that can dominate our lives. Through its intense and unrelenting message, 'Mentiroso' resonates with anyone who has ever felt the weight of deception and the need for truth.
