Despertar
Bengala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
otra vez me quedé
soñando contigo
Destruyes, destruyes
mis paisajes favoritos
Encontré este lugar para recuperar
lo que andaba perdido
Cuando sueño en amarillo
las señales son frecuentes
y tu amor intermitente
me reduce a hablar de mi mismo
Ahí lo ves, así será
los accidentes no me van más
siento el momento de parar
Despertar que esta vez
sí me voy a matar
si te sigo creyendo.
Destruye, destruye,
que me siento en movimiento.
Despertar que esta vez
sí me voy a matar si te sigo creyendo.
Mis motivos miden mucho,
para seguir en estos juegos,
para salir de laberintos,
me imagino más violento.
Ahí lo ves así será,
los accidentes no me van más,
siento el momento de parar,
ahí lo ves así será,
los accidentes no me van más.
No quiero tener nada que hacer contigo ya.
The song "Despertar" by Bengala is about the internal conflict of someone who is struggling with their feelings for someone who continues to disrupt their peace of mind. The lyrics express the frustration and struggle of trying to move on from these feelings, but being constantly reminded of the person and their impact on their life.
The opening line, "Me volvió a suceder, otra vez me quedé soñando contigo" (It happened again, I dreamt of you once more), sets the tone for the song, as the singer is caught in the cycle of wanting to move on but unable to do so. The lines "Destruyes, destruyes, mis paisajes favoritos" (You destroy, you destroy, my favorite landscapes) illustrate the impact the person has on the singer's life, their presence altering what was once comfortable and familiar.
The lyrics "Despertar que esta vez sí me voy a matar si te sigo creyendo" (I will kill myself this time if I keep believing in you) showcases the desperation of the singer, who is willing to sacrifice everything to break free from the hold that the person has on them. Ultimately, the song is about finding the strength to let go of something that is no longer serving you, even if it is painful.
