Antes
Alih Jey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por qué hablar, si hay cosas que prefiero no tocar
Por qué llamar si ya puedo recordarte sin llorar
Si te hice desaparecer, para qué buscarte otra vez.

Antes yo solo giraba en torno a tí, como la luna yo,
la tierra tú y asi, antes solo existías tú y ahora yo.

No se por qué son las cosas como son y se vivir,
por fin, sin tí, de repente desperté y descubrí,
que no falta otra mitad, y no estoy sola en mi soledad.

Antes yo era solo un eco de tu voz,
pero ahora mi silencio es mejor, no se por qué antes,
yo solo giraba en torno a tí, como la luna yo,
la tierra tú y así, antes solo existías tú y ahora yo.
Cómo regresar a tu mundo esa orbita sin final,
si logré escapar sin mirar atrás.

Antes yo solo giraba en torno a tí,
como la luna yo, la tierra tú y así,
siempre eramos antes, yo solo brillaba con el sol,




y ahora mi propia luz la tengo, y es mejor,
antes solo existías tú y ahora yo.

The singer feels liberated and independent, realizing they have a newfound sense of self-awareness and have moved past the previous relationship.
