Description
Sometimes it seems that the heart is not an organ, but an apartment building. You seem to be living peacefully, but then someone suddenly moves out, slamming the door, and immediately it becomes hollow, empty, with echoes walking down the corridors. Everything seems to be in place - the walls, the furniture, even the smell of coffee in the morning - but the warmth is gone. And all that remains is the habit of waiting: what if they come back? What if they knock on the door again, and there's a different lock, but the hole in the wall still hasn't been filled in.
Music is like the light of a lantern in broken glass. Soft, but with cracks. About how even the strongest have fragments, and how difficult it is to admit that they still shine with someone else's reflection.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Yo sé que no ha ido bien
Los meses han pasado sin más
Subiste en otro tren
Y entiendo que no quieras bajar
Costaba imaginar
Que esto tuviera un final
Supongo que habrá luz
Después de tanta tempestad
Creía que no me iba a afectar
Yo me sentía invencible
Y como un gigante de cristal
Me rompí en mil pedazos
Siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
Y siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
Lo siento, quizá he llegado tarde
Andaba por el barrio fijándome en la gente
Historias corrientes, qué envidia me dan
El cielo en el infierno, mi tierra natal
He visto tus mensajes y no te he contestado
Es que acumulé voltaje y lo estoy descargando
Como las estrellas que brillan tan fuerte
Como tú brillabas nadie más lo hará
Creía que no me iba a afectar
Yo me sentía invencible
Y como un gigante de cristal
Me rompí en mil pedazos
Siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
Y siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
Duele tanto cuando te marchas
Duele tanto cuando no estás aquí
Duele tanto cuando te marchas
Duele tanto cuando no estás aquí
Cuando no estás aquí
Cuando no estás aquí
Siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
Y siempre que tú quieras volver
Tendré otro hueco aún más grande
English translation
I know it hasn't gone well
The months have passed without further ado
You got on another train
And I understand that you don't want to go down
It was hard to imagine
May this have an end
I guess there will be light
After so much storm
I thought it wouldn't affect me
I felt invincible
And like a glass giant
I broke into a thousand pieces
Whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
And whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
Sorry, maybe I'm late
I was walking around the neighborhood looking at people
Common stories, how envious they make me
Heaven in hell, my homeland
I have seen your messages and I have not answered you
It's just that I accumulated voltage and I'm discharging it
Like the stars that shine so bright
No one else will shine like you did
I thought it wouldn't affect me
I felt invincible
And like a glass giant
I broke into a thousand pieces
Whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
And whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
It hurts so much when you leave
It hurts so much when you're not here
It hurts so much when you leave
It hurts so much when you're not here
When you're not here
When you're not here
Whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
And whenever you want to come back
I will have another even bigger hole
