Sorry
Lilium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quise besarte no lo hice
Te digo la verdad
Yo no puedo mas
Querer asi
Yo no soy capaz
Get her to call and ask for me
Quise dejarte no lo hice
No te llamo
Hay que protegerme
Get her to call and ask for me
Get her to call and say I am sorry
Get her to call and set me free
'cause seating here just makes me horny
Te digo la verdad
Yo no puedo mas
Querer asi
Yo no soy capaz
The lyrics of Lilium's song "Sorry" reveal the singer's honesty with themselves and their inability to handle a relationship. The song starts with a confession that the singer wanted to tell the person they love something and kiss them, but they couldn't do it. The truth that follows is that the singer can't continue to love in this way and isn't capable of doing so. It's apparent from the lyrics that the relationship is over or heading that way. The next few lines reveal that the singer didn't call the person even though they wanted to leave them alone for their sake.
The chorus is where the song's true message lies. The singer asks someone to call their lover and say they're sorry. The reason for the apology is unclear, but it's apparent that the singer wants their lover to call them, so they're not the only one initiating contact. They want to be "set free" from the burden of constantly thinking about their failed relationship, which is an uncomfortable feeling.
Lilium is expressing themes that are common to anyone who has been in a relationship that has ended or is coming to an end. The lyrics indicate that the singer is reflective, honest, and ready to move on from the relationship. It's a song about emotional growth and taking ownership of one's feelings.

Not feeling amazing right now in any way but I always come back to this song that I accidentally found and it calms me down so much. Just sounds so soothing, the voices the music the beat, everything! 🙌✨

Si eres un intento de escritor con ansiedad social, esta música es muy inspiracional. De una manera muy dolorosa pero a la vez placentera. Divagues de una fotocopia que salió mal, de un pobre diablo que tuvo una sobredosis de Cortázar, Neruda, Benedetti y de otros tantos genios atormentados. Que solo sueña con dejar algo cuando ya mi cuerpo vuelva al lugar a dónde pertence. Que necia vanidad la del genio, que en un mundo a punto de destruirse sueña con ser eterno.
