Ill Niño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Overcome in time
I'm taking what is mine
Nothing is all, I thought I was there
I'm finding myself going nowhere
Is this a mistake that cannot relate
To what is fake?
Is this what I get for learning to speak?
For opening eyes and digging in deep?
Is this what I get for being reborn
From the norm?
I don't want to shine, light will make us blind
I don't wanna feel unreal
What have I become? Born under the sun
Planets will converge for you
I, I'll try to break you
I'll try to break you
I'll try to break you
What would it take to not look away?
To open my eyes and stare in the face
To learn from what's real, I'm trying to deal
But it's worthless
Is this what I get for learning to speak?
For opening eyes and digging in deep?
Is this what I get for being reborn
From the norm?
I don't want to shine, light will make us blind
I don't wanna feel unreal
What have I become? Born under the sun
Planets will converge for you
Pushing and grinding is twisting my mind frame
El tempo que pesa nos tumba la mesa
Y ahora que es nuestro, mi vida te apuesto
Bet my life
I don't want to shine, light will make us blind
I don't wanna feel unreal
What have I become? Born under the sun
Planets will converge for you
I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna feel
Unreal
In these lyrics, Ill Niño expresses the turmoil of an individual who is trying to come to terms with their identity and purpose in life. The singer is struggling to make sense of the world and feels trapped in what seems to be an endless cycle of nothingness. They want to take control of their life and find meaning in it, but they don't know how.
The lyrics touch on the themes of self-discovery and social conformity. The singer is learning to speak, opening their eyes, and digging deep to find the truth. However, they also feel a sense of isolation and rejection for not following societal norms. They want to break free from these constraints and be true to themselves.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of being authentic and avoiding the fake reality that can be created by social pressures. The singer is determined not to be blinded by the light and wants to find real meaning in life. Ultimately, they do not want to feel unreal and disconnected from their true self.

Separate your mind
Divert your thoughts
Overcome in time
Eventually triumph

I'm finding myself going nowhere
I'm not progressing, just wandering aimlessly

But it's worthless
But it doesn't amount to anything
Pushing and grinding is twisting my mind frame
Continuously striving is twisting my mindset
El tempo que pesa nos tumba la mesa
The weighty rhythm topples our table
Y ahora que es nuestro, mi vida te apuesto
And now that it's ours, I bet my life on it
Bet my life
Wagering everything I have
I don't wanna feel unreal
I don't want to feel fake

they played a gig about 10 years ago in a small local rock club in my small UK town, there were only around 30 - 40 people in the audience, and these guys played like they were playing to a crowd of 500, true pro's and put on an amazing gig. After the gig they hung out with everyone and were super cool, was one of the most memorable gigs I ever went to, a great band! Much respect for them after that night!
