Esplendor
Tlx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No voy a morirme
No voy a morirme
deja de pensar en eso
el decirte adiós.
fue solo una señal
Mi corazón por un instante
te dí mi cabeza en un estante
y sin querer.
fuí todo mi esplendor
Me transtorna el dolor...
un lecho de maldad y florecillas
ya viví mis pesadillas.
son excusas para verte HOY
Verte hoy...
Y a veces voy, a veces vuelvo
a veces... me comporto como un enfermo
y no me busques
no soy yo
no estoy
Me transtorna el dolor...
un lecho de maldad y florecillas
ya viví mis pesadillas.




son excusas para verte HOY
Verte hoy...

Overall Meaning

In Tlx's song Esplendor, the singer is assuring someone that they are not going to die and to stop thinking about saying goodbye. The departure was just a sign that their heart needed a break. At one point, the singer gave their heart to the person, putting it on a shelf "por un instante" (for a moment). This unintentional action caused the singer to be everything in their glory, but also to be tormented by pain. The pain is like a bed of evilness and little flowers, and the singer has already lived through their nightmares. All of these excuses are made to see the person again, but sometimes the singer goes back and forth, behaving like someone who is sick. The singer implores the person not to look for them because they are not themselves and are not present.


It seems like the singer is going through a difficult time in their life, and the person they are addressing is someone who they have a deep connection with. The singer is experiencing intense pain and seems to be using their connection with this person as a way to cope with it. They are constantly drawn to this person, but at the same time, they are aware that they need some time to heal and recover. The song is quite emotional and highlights the complexity of human relationships and how we cope with pain.
