Carla Morrison is the daughter of two Mexican parents: Porfiria Flores and Hilario Morrison. Her father, Hilario Morrison, formerly Viera, got his last name when he was adopted by William Guy Morrison, born in California and the son of an English migrant named Laura Morrison.
Carla Morrison was born and lived in Tecate for the first years of her life. Since she was little, she received training in the art of drawing, dancing and singing, and she showed a special inclination for this last discipline. Motivated by her conviction to dedicate herself to music, she went to Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of seventeen. In this city, she began her musical studies at Mesa Community College, but soon dropped out because her way of approaching music was more spiritual, emotional and self-taught than academic.
Inspired by her teacher David Barrios, a Mexican lyric baritone, she began to present her first musical compositions under the artistic name of Babaluca . This project was consolidated as a band with the adhesion of Nick Kizer and Nichole Petta and positioned itself in a short time as one of the most important projects on the local scene.
During this stage of her artistic life, the singer collaborated with Mark Erickson —multi-instrumentalist musician, and member of the band Colorstone, from Phoenix, Arizona—, producer of Babaluca's first album, which never came out. Carla Morrison and Mark Erickson worked together to perform the song “Tragos de amargo licor” by Ramón Ayala at a country music festival, which was included in their extended play (ep), Aprendiendo a aprender. In addition, Mark Erickson invited her to be a backing vocalist on the Go Away Closer album, which he produced for Lonna Kelley.
After a short but productive career with Babaluca, Carla decided to leave the project and she returned to Mexico to continue her musical career as a soloist.
Apagué mi mente

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buscando sentido al mundo
Cosas que no lograba comprender
Encendí mi alma y apague mi mente
Tuve que volar muy lejos
El sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendor
Las cosas parecían, veras la rutina
Tuve que aprender a sostener
Mis palabras aunque fuera en un papel
Cosas que no lograba comprender
Cuidaron mi alma y volví a renacer
Tuve que volar muy lejos
El sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendor
Las cosas parecían, veras la rutina
Se convirtió en función y en amor
Tuve que volar muy lejos
El sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendor
Carla Morrison's song Apague Mi Mente is a poignant reflection on the struggles of finding meaning and purpose in life. The opening lines introduce the concept of rehabilitation and searching for meaning in a confusing world. The singer is seeking answers to questions that she cannot understand, and in her search, she metaphorically "turns off" her mind and "lights up" her soul. This idea is further explored as she mentions the need to go through difficult experiences, to learn how to hold onto her words. This is evidently an indication that the singer needs to learn to express herself correctly.
In the second verse, the idea of distance is introduced as the character must "fly far away." She is trying to escape from her current situation, where everything seems routine and mundane. The idea of confusion and pain gives way to clarity and rebirth, in the song's bridge, where the singer speaks of learning to understand things, and feeling nurtured. This transformation has given her a new outlook on life, one that is characterized by love and ambition. The message of the song is clear: only through struggling can one find meaning and purpose, even in life's darkest moments.

¥• Estuve bajo rehabilitación,
buscandole sentido al mundo,
cosas que no lograba comprender
encendi mi alma y apague mi mente.
Tuve que volar muy lejos
el sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendooor
las cosas parecian, veras la rutina
se han convertido en confusióoon y en dolooooor
Tuve que aprender a sostener
mis palabras aunque fuera en un papel,
cosas que no lograba comprender
cuidaron mi alma y volvi a renacer.
Tuve que volar muy lejos
el sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendooor
las cosas parecian, veras la rutina

Tuve que volar muy lejos
el sol ya no alumbraba mi esplendoooor..... •¥ Días que la anciedad desespera y solo kieres kieres irte lejos y noches sin dormir bien que solo kieres llorar porque no ayas salida a todo esto que ataca oooh dios. •¥

Al parecer Carlita ha pasado por momentos de depresión y ataques de ansiedad, con esta cancion lo demuestra. Bueno de hecho uno de sus tatuajes dice precisamente asi: "encendi mi alma y apague mi mente". Se lo hizo cuando logró superar sus problemas psicológicos.
