Puras Mentiras paints the picture of someone who has loved with open hands and an open heart, only to discover that every promise they believed in was a lie. Alex Fernández sings from the perspective of a lover who has cleared the path, shared his bread and wine, and offered his very life for the relationship. In return he receives cold indifference, contempt, and, as the title says, nothing but lies. The song captures that bittersweet mix of devotion and disillusion: you can almost feel the singer clinging to hope while realizing that the cost of this love is becoming unbearable.
Beneath the smooth melody lies a raw confession of exhaustion. Fernández highlights the unfairness of sacrificing happiness, faith, and time when the other person repays everything with forgetfulness. Yet the narrator’s voice remains tender rather than angry, which makes the heartbreak even more relatable. The takeaway? LOVE can inspire grand gestures, but when those gestures are met with deception, it is time to question whether any romance is worth so much suffering. The song is both a cautionary tale and a cathartic anthem for anyone who has ever given everything only to hear puras mentiras in return.
