Miento Lyrics in English by Leonel Garcia, Nicole Zignago
Obseso translates to "obsessed person" or "obsessive". It's a strong and somewhat dramatic noun that isn't commonly found in every pop song, making it stand out.
In the lyrics, the singer admits, "Pienso tanto en ti que he descubierto que soy un obseso" (I think about you so much that I've discovered I am an obsessive person). This word powerfully conveys the depth of his fixation and inability to move on from a past love, adding a raw and intense emotional layer to the song.
Have you ever tried to convince yourself you're over someone, even when every fiber of your being says otherwise? That's exactly what Leonel Garcia and Nicole Zignago explore in "Miento" (I Lie). This song is a raw, honest look at the struggle to move on after a breakup, even when you're telling everyone—and yourself—that you have.
The lyrics are full of these little self-deceptions. He sings, "Miento, no te he olvidado en este tiempo en ningún momento" (I lie, I haven't forgotten you at any moment during this time), immediately admitting his lie. He even says he's "Tonto, distraído y en la ausencia porque no te tengo" (Foolish, distracted, and in absence because I don't have you), showing how consumed he is by the loss. It's a relatable feeling of pretending to be okay when your heart is still completely broken, and he's not afraid to say, "He luchando y he perdido" (I have fought and I have lost). It's a powerful song about the lies we tell ourselves to cope, and how ultimately, the truth always finds a way to surface.
