BeyoncéЀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No puedo ya seguir viviendo así
Oye mmm huhmm como llora mi canción
Preciso tu atención debes oír
Hoy no sé quién soy, ni sé adónde voy
Encontrarme hoy es mi misión
¡De tu prisión por fin ya soy libre!
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
Hoy
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor voy a partir
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
Nunca quisiste que me fuera a volar
Callar mi identidad, que gran error
Hoy grito no tengo más temor
Hoy tu alumna te dice adiós
¡De tu prisión por fin ya soy libre, eh, eh!
¡Oye!
Esto no tiene salida
Ya nada sirve que digas
Tengo que escapar
Yo tengo que escuchar a mi corazón
¡Hoy!
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor voy a partir
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
Yo soy tu gran creación
Por eso es que me voy
Dime adiós, dime adiós
¡Oye!
Lo que tengo que decir
No puedo ya seguir viviendo así
¡Ya me voy!
Buscaré mi propia luz
No seas insensible
Soy más de lo que fui por ti
Llena de valor hoy ya lo decidí
Yo tengo que encontrar mi voz
¡Mi voz!
The song "Listen" by Beyoncé is a powerful anthem that speaks about finding one's own voice and breaking free from the restrictions and constraints placed upon oneself by others. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration, as the singer proclaims that she cannot continue living the way she has been living and that she must find her own path. The opening lines of the song state, "Listen to what I have to say/I can't go on living this way/Listen, mm hmm, to the crying of my song/I need your attention, you must hear me." These lyrics set the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the singer's journey towards self-discovery and independence.
Throughout the song, Beyoncé sings about the importance of listening to her own heart and finding her own path. She declares that she must leave behind the constraints that have been holding her back, stating, "I have to escape/I have to listen to my heart." The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "I need to find my own voice," which reinforces the message of self-discovery and self-expression.
The lyrics also touch on themes of identity and the pressure to conform to others' expectations. Beyoncé sings, "You never wanted me to go/To dim my light, to lose my soul/You never wanted to let me shine/So I'm leaving you behind." These lines suggest that the singer has been stifled by someone else's expectations and that she must break free to find her true self and achieve her full potential.
Overall, "Listen" is a powerful and uplifting song about the importance of self-discovery and finding one's own voice. It encourages listeners to break free from the constraints of others and to listen to their own hearts to find their own path in life.

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known
now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but I will complete
now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own
