La mitad del tiempo
Los Amantes De Lola Lyrics

The lyrics to Los Amantes De Lola's song La mitad del tiempo (Half of the Time) express the conflict of wanting to leave a relationship while at the same time being unable to do so. The singer admits to feeling lost and unable to heal, but also admits to despising their partner. The opening lines "No me quiero quedar, No te puedo dejar" (I don't want to stay, I can't leave you) capture this inner tension. The singer then reflects on how they have been waiting around to change their life, and that they are frustrated with waiting. They are also angry at themselves for not being able to move on, saying "Recordarte me sabe mal" (remembering you makes me feel bad).

Later in the song, the singer admits to knowing where to go to vent their frustrations and to feel the need to scream. However, they begin to realize they can't leave and that they have to start pretending. This is emphasized in the chorus when they sing "Porque la mitad del tiempo, No soy yo cuando estбs tъ" (half of the time, I'm not myself when you're around). The idea of not being oneself is repeated for emphasis, and it is clear that being with this person is causing a deep inner conflict for the singer.

Overall, the song tells a story of a troubled relationship and the confusion it brings to the singer. The lyrics use simple but powerful imagery to express the emotions involved, and the repetition of the chorus underlines the internal tension that drives the song's narrative.
