The song "Clichés" by Jesse & Joy is about a person who has been deceived and lied to by someone they cared about. The person is aware of the lies and is no longer willing to be fooled or waste their time with the other person's tricks. The title "Clichés" refers to the repetitive and predictable behavior of the person they are addressing. In the first verse, the person expresses that they know they are being deceived and have heard the lies, emphasizing that they are not oblivious to the other person's actions. The phrase "Strike one, strike two, strike three" represents the three chances the person had to prove themselves, but they have failed in all of them. The repeated phrase "Hasta aquí llegamos, bye, bye, bye" signifies that the person has had enough and is ready to move on from the relationship. The chorus further emphasizes the person's determination to not be fooled again. They state that they will not waste their time on clichéd behavior and lies. They are not willing to get entangled in the other person's charm or manipulation anymore, no matter the opinions or names they might be called. In the second verse, the person reflects on how they used to be captivated by the other person's gaze but has now freed themselves from that influence. They acknowledge that life feels better without the other person and that they don't need them to be happy. The bridge of the song talks about the person's initial hopes and belief that the other person would take care of their heart. However, the reality is that everything they imagined and liked about the relationship has come to an end. They express well wishes for the other person but clarify that they have no intention of seeing them again. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the person's decision to not be fooled by clichéd behavior or lies. They acknowledge that they may be judged or labeled as crazy, but they firmly state that the other person should not call them anymore. Overall, "Clichés" is a song about resilience, self-awareness, and the decision to break free from a toxic and deceptive relationship. The person realizes their worth and refuses to be manipulated or deceived any longer.
