Princesa
Kaxta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
dime la verdad, se acabó la hierbabuena
te quise olvidar, encierro el silencio
salgo del portal
no tengo problema, a la luz de una candela
paso de largo, tu cordura me quema
(y no pongas cara de pena)
vivo enganchado de los pies a la cabeza
no soy juguete princesa
ni tus labios saben a certeza
si me cago en tus muertos
me crezco y me siento mejor
quiero respirar, salto de acera en acera
sin mirar atrás, por si la luna me lleva
ya no aguanto más, cojo una salida de la realidad
no tengo problema, a la luz de una candela

However, he then goes on to say that he is not her toy or a plaything for her to use and discard at will. He does not want to be at her mercy. He is tired of the uncertainty of her feelings, and her lips do not taste certain.
