Ya No Se Trata de Ti
Francisca Valenzuela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenia tanto amor o era obsesión
Hacia arriba fuiste el queme enseño
Tanto me enseño, el que me formo
Que ingenua insegura
Trataba de complacer
De conseguirme tu aprobación
Y la de otros también
De ese tiempo era otro yo, era otro yo
La que se perdió, tú me tenias a tu alrededor
Para acariciar, para agrandarte el ego
Sentía una presión
Algo que me ataba
Ahora lo veo con la claridad
Me elegiste por que lo iba a dar
Ya no se trata de ti, no se trata de ti
Sabemos lo que hiciste, y ahora
Tan susceptible, ya no más, ya crecí
Me decías que nadie iba a querer
Nadie iba a querer, nadie iba a quererme
Como tú lo hacías y te entregué
Te di y te entregué, lo di y lo deje todo
Que equivocada estaba
En creerte, por que
Una vida nueva ya venia
Donde me iban a querer
Dejaste, escombros
Me dejaste demonios, circulando
Ahora los miro a la cara
Les digo no son tanto
Ya no se trata de ti, no se trata de ti
Sabemos lo que hiciste, y ahora
Tan susceptible, ya no más, ya crecí
Ya no se trata de ti, no se trata de ti
Y por fin puedo verlo, después de
Tanto tiempo, ahora que me alejé
Sentí
Ya no se trata de ti, no se trata de ti
Sabemos lo que hiciste, y ahora
Tan susceptible, ya no más, ya crecí
Ya no se trata de ti, no se trata de ti
Y por fin puedo verlo, después de
Tanto tiempo, ahora que me alejé
Sentí
This song is about moving on from a toxic relationship and realizing that the person she was with was toxic and controlling. The lyrics describe how she was once in love with this person, but as time went on, she began to feel trapped and pressured to please this person. She even admits that she mistook her love for this person as an obsession because of the way the person treated her.
The song contains lyrics that express how she felt trapped in the relationship, unable to escape the pressure that the other person placed on her. The person would constantly tell her that no one else would ever love her the way they did, and that she needed to seek their approval, as well as the approval of others. However, as time went on, she came to the realization that the relationship was toxic and that the other person was only looking out for their own ego.
The chorus of the song reiterates the fact that the relationship is no longer about the other person. She has learned from her experience and is no longer susceptible to toxic relationships. She has grown and moved on from the relationship, and the song ends on a powerful note of self-love and growth.
