COSMÉTICOS

Myke Towers' 'COSMÉTICOS' is a song that delves into the complexities of a modern, casual relationship, underscored by a mix of admiration and a no-strings-attached understanding. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman with an 'angelical face' who seems like a 'cosmetic model,' suggesting that her beauty is both striking and possibly enhanced or curated. The reference to cosmetics could imply that there's more beneath the surface, a depth not immediately visible. The song's title itself, 'COSMÉTICOS,' hints at the themes of appearance and the layers we put on to present ourselves to the world.

The narrative of the song revolves around the dynamic between the protagonist and this woman. Myke Towers describes a passionate and intense connection, particularly highlighting their physical relationship with the phrase 'en la cama e' criminal,' which translates to 'in bed, she's a criminal.' This metaphor suggests that their encounters are wild and possibly rule-breaking, emphasizing the intensity of their intimacy. The repeated lines about recording 'a saga' on her cellphone and giving each other everything while being 'nothing' to each other encapsulate the transient and purely physical nature of their relationship.

Throughout the song, there are references to luxury and a lifestyle that includes Cartier glasses, a Macan Porsche, and penthouses, painting a picture of a high-end, perhaps even hedonistic, world. The woman is portrayed as empowered and in control, with 'access control in her heart,' indicating that she guards her emotions closely, despite the openness of their physical relationship. Myke Towers' lyrics reflect a common theme in reggaeton and urban music, where the celebration of physical pleasure, material wealth, and emotional detachment often converge. The song captures the essence of a fleeting, yet fiery connection, wrapped in the allure of a lifestyle that is as glamorous as it is unattainable for many.
