Verdad Mentira Lyrics in English by Los Claxons, Alex Cuba
Mal acostumbrar is a fascinating phrase that literally means "to badly accustom oneself" or "to get used to something in a bad way." It implies developing a habit that might be detrimental or difficult to break.
In the song, the singer says, "Me voy a mal acostumbrar a estar buscándote" (I'm going to get used to looking for you in a bad way). This suggests a fear of becoming overly dependent or obsessed with the search for this person, highlighting the intense and potentially unhealthy nature of their longing.
Have you ever been so smitten that you start to question reality? That's exactly what Los Claxons and Alex Cuba explore in "Verdad Mentira" [Truth, Lie]. The singer is completely captivated, admitting, "Me sabes tan real" [You feel so real to me] and "No pienso normal" [I don't think normally] since hearing this person's voice. They're so lost in thought that they "Confundo la luna y el sol" [confuse the moon and the sun]!
It's a beautiful, dreamy song about being caught between a dream and reality. The singer wonders, "Soy de verdad, soy de mentira / Cuando en mis sueños te apareces y yo pienso que tú estás en mi vida" [Am I real, am I a lie / When you appear in my dreams and I think you are in my life]. It's clear this isn't just a fleeting crush; the person's eyes left "una luz encendida" [a light on] in their life, and now there's "De esta ilusión ya no hay salida" [no way out of this illusion]. The feeling is so strong that they're even asking, "Sácame de aquí sálvame de mí / Con solo verte" [Get me out of here, save me from myself / Just by seeing you]. It's a fun look at how love can completely turn your world upside down!
