This song talk about Shakira as a mature individual who no longer want to be hidden by an attempt to maintain an image. The opening lyrics show Shakira's confession many of her untold secrets, with the promise she will stay honest. The next lines in which she says the costume makes the clown basically says that the glamour and image she presents isn't who she was, she then begs that people will be understading and goes on to say "its your turn now to cheat on me" implying that by hiding her true nature she has in a way cheated on whoever she is doing the confession and she is accepting of the fact that there might be repercussions. The rest of the song just continue the message that she is willing to open up and show her true nature while tyring to make others understand that is is human nature to want to hide who you really are from time to time. Again Shakira succeeds to write an execellent song about human nature and not just superficial subjects as many other artist tend to do.
