Canción De Mierda is Mon Laferte’s tongue-in-cheek way of turning heartbreak into art. While she sarcastically calls it a “shitty song,” the lyrics reveal a clever mix of domestic routine (washing dishes), dark humor (dancing tango with a gun), and raw fury. She sings about an ex who will never understand her pain—highlighted in the biting line “Tú, qué vas a saber / Si tú no sangras una vez al mes.” By pointing to menstruation as a symbol of embodied suffering, Mon Laferte underlines the gap between their experiences and asserts a distinctly feminine perspective.
Amid the sarcasm and anger, the chorus repeats “Sobrevivir” (to survive), turning the song into an anthem of resilience. Instead of wishing her ex harm, she trusts karma to do the work, choosing music as her weapon. The simple melody she promises to “stab” him with becomes a cathartic release—proof that even in the depths of sorrow, creativity and humor can keep us dancing on the edge of the abyss.
