Belén Aguilera paints herself as a chameleon to explain how she survives the whirlwind of emotions and judgments around her. When someone asks if she knows pain, she answers “no,” even though she has plenty of reasons to say yes. Instead of showing it, she changes color like glowing neon, hides her secrets “in her skeleton,” and masks her feelings with a splash of rum. Her thick “reptile” skin deflects incoming missiles, and she would rather seem hostile than fragile, like a pop-culture Cruella de Vil.
Yet the track is far from dark; it is a witty celebration of fluid identity, self-protection, and LGBTQ+ pride. An improvised chat in the middle wonders what color a chameleon really is, then cheers it on as a queer icon. Aguilera calls herself Mystique from the X-Men, starring in her own movie where no one knows if the smile is real or scripted. Beneath the playful talk and club-ready beat, the message is clear: we all shape-shift to cope, and that ever-changing palette is a strength, not a flaw.
