You reappeared among the shadows of yesterday
You said: "I miss you defeating me again"
You don't get tired of losing
I am tired of this spiral that I can't get out of
Badly healed wounds that are reopened
The constant replay
And to tell you the truth
I was waiting for you
I don't remember seeing you leave
Because you live inside of me
And how do I check the king1
If I am a measly pawn?
I go by the norms of the law
I don't follow my own guideline
I only know to ask forgiveness
Always running away without looking back
Because I am a fire that burns
I burn whatever I touch
I am not going to stay
This is not enough for me2
I get scared that you'll see me without makeup
No, I haven't won the war
But I do have the courage
You look for me and always find me in the same place
You stick in my mind as if it were real
Like the most deadly poison
And I know I promised you that I wouldn't leave again
But it's just that today I am tired of lying
Even though I want to say it
It's that I aim to change the ending
I sense a mortal destiny
The sand will break the glass
The memory will become fatal
And without knowing how to swim
I am ahead of the helm
With less fear of sinking
With hunger for revolution
I will not ask for forgiveness
Always running away without looking back
Because I am a fire that burns
I burn whatever I touch
I am not staying
This is not enough for me
It scares me that you see me without makeup
No, I haven't won the war
But I do have the courage
It's that I cannot save you
Nor you me
I complain about your monsters
And I always invoke them
I will not look at you
with my makeup on again
I haven't won the war
But I didn't arrive late
I haven't won the war
But I have the courage
I may not be the queen
But I will put you in check
1. In chess, a check is when a player's king is under threat of capture on their opponent's next turn. A king that is threatened is said to be in check2. "Me sabe a poco" literally translates to "I got a little taste of (something)",
meaning that getting a little taste of something leaves you with the desire for more, or it's not enough.
