Smitten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estoy tranquilo y quiero que te vayas
Ya no importa si hoy me queda nada
Se que al menos creo en lo que soy
Hace días que tire tus cartas
Hace tiempo que no pienso en calma
Porque ya no encuentro la emoción

Intentando olvidar lo que no te pude dar

Se que todo fue tan raro

Solo aquí ya no me quedan ganas
Porque nunca se lo que me falta
Será que esta vez se termino

Intentando despejar lo que un día pude odiar
Siempre el miedo fue tan vano

Quiero mirar tus ojos
Quiero despertarme nunca más
Y creer que sigo igual
Yeah, yeah
Quiero mirar tus ojos
Quiero despertarme nunca más
Y poder sentirte acá
Yeah, yeah

Intentando olvidar lo que no te pude dar
Sé que todo fue tan vano

Quiero mirar tus ojos
Quiero despertarme nunca más
Y creer que sigo igual
Yeah, yeah
Quiero mirar tus ojos

Quiero despertarme nunca más
Y poder sentirte acá
Yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smitten's song Chica Beat express a sense of resignation and acceptance in the wake of a failed relationship. The singer is telling their former partner that they are calm and want them to leave, acknowledging that they have nothing left to cling to. They state that they at least believe in who they are and have moved on from reading the letters their ex sent them. The singer no longer feels the same emotions they once did and has lost the thrill that was once there.

The verses repeat the idea of trying to forget what couldn't be given and the futility of fear. The chorus has a sense of longing, as the singer wishes they could see their ex's eyes and never wake up in order to believe that nothing has changed. The repetition of "yeah yeah" feels like a plea or a hopeful mantra. The song ultimately seems to be about acceptance of what cannot be changed and the struggle to let go while still holding on to certain memories.
