Desde Donde Estoy
Ulises Hadjis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A smile on your face
You rip out my heart
Just to watch how it breaks
You choose me to use me
And take out your pain
Your mistakes put me in my grave
Stitches where my wounds will heal
A scar that has your memory
I keep the eyes in the back of my head open 24-7, remembering
Darker days, the Devil's real
I've been to Hell and back again
Help
There's a monster under my bed (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
And I think that he might want me dead
He said, if I let him go I'll regret
All of the damage he's done to my head
Help
There's a monster under my bed
And I think that he might want me dead
He said, if I let him go I'll regret
All of the damage he's done to my head
My bones won't stop breaking
You're throwing me stones
My teardrops are bloody
I'm here all alone
Your words are a sickness
They're stuck to my soul
On my own, with your lonely soul
How am I supposed to feel when no one's keepin' track of me?
Stitches where my wounds will heal
A scar that has your memory
I keep the eyes in the back of my head open 24-7
Remembering, darker days, the Devil's real
I've been to Hell and back again
Help
There's a monster under my bed (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
And I think that he might want me dead
He said, if I let him go I'll regret
All of the damage he's done to my head
Help
There's a monster under my bed
And I think that he might want me dead
He said, if I let him go I'll regret
All of the damage he's done to my head
The lyrics of "Desde Donde Estoy" by Ulises Hadjis are quite emotional and depict a person in immense pain who is being hurt by someone they love. The first verse describes the pain inflicted upon the singer. The one who they love is hurting them emotionally, ripping their heart out just to watch it break. The perpetrator chooses the singer to use them and take out their own pain. This is an example of emotional abuse where one person uses another to get rid of their own pain. The singer is paying the price for the perpetrator's mistakes and feels like they are being put in their grave.
The second verse speaks about the singer's inner turmoil. They are left alone to deal with their issues, and no one is concerned about them. The wounds may heal physically, but the memory of the pain inflicted upon them may leave a permanent scar. They have been to dark places, and the "Devil" is a real entity that can haunt our souls. The chorus talks about a monster under the singer's bed, who the singer thinks wants to kill them. The monster is a metaphor for the emotional abuse that the singer is facing. The abuse is causing them deep emotional trauma, making them feel like they are on the verge of death. The monster tells the singer that if they let them go, they will regret it as the damage that is done will always be there.

All of the damage he's done to my head

My bones won't stop breaking
I am physically and emotionally fragile
You're throwing me stones
You are causing me pain and injury
My teardrops are bloody
My emotional pain has become physical
I'm here all alone
I am isolated and have nobody to turn to
Your words are a sickness
Your verbal abuse is harmful and infectious
They're stuck to my soul
Your hurtful words have become a part of me
On my own, with your lonely soul
I am by myself while you suffer as well
