Control
Siddhartha Lyrics

The Spanish lyrics in Siddhartha's song Control convey a sense of separation and loss. The opening line "It's time to go on" suggests that the singer and their partner are parting ways. They are figuratively separated by "abismos" or abysses, indicating a deep chasm between them. The following lines hint at the possibility of "el diluvio" or a great flood coming, which could be interpreted as an impending crisis or emotional upheaval. The singer seems resigned to the idea that they will bury themselves and their pain when this happens.

The chorus is repetitive and includes questions about the future. The singer wonders what will become of them when their partner leaves, and where their partner will go. The repetition of "qué más hay, qué más da" (what else is there, what does it matter) seems to underscore a sense of resignation or indifference. It's possible that the singer is questioning the meaning of their relationship and their own existence in the face of impending separation. The final lines of the chorus suggest that the singer will be found by their own scent on the wind.

The last verse includes the lines "Si el dolor es temor por un nuevo resplandor" (if pain is fear of a new light) which could suggest that the singer believes that they will eventually find a new direction or purpose. The lines "y seguir sin ver fin es el precio de vivir" (and to continue without seeing the end is the price of living) further emphasize a sense of resignation or endurance. The final lines "Si tu adiós fue el perdón a mi falta de control" (If your goodbye was forgiveness for my lack of control) seem to indicate that the relationship ended due to the singer's inability to maintain control, although it's not clear what precisely they are referring to with this.
