Matando mi vida
Killing my life
Voy dandolo todo
I'm giving it my all
A veces me escodo
Sometimes I hide away
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to flee
Matando minutos
Killing minutes
Soy todo presente
I am all in the now
Olvido el pasado
I forget the past
Pero no se quiere ir
But it doesn't want to leave
Matando misterio
Killing mystery
Controlo mi miedo
I control my fear
Ordenar el caos
Order the chaos
Solo una mentira más
Just one more lie
¿Cuantas melodias puedo hallar
How many melodies can I find
en un mismo acorde escondidas?
hidden in a single chord?
Matando silencio
Killing silence
Me vas entendiendo
You’re starting to understand me
Mas debo callarme para que me escuches bien
But I must be silent so you can hear me well
Para que me escuches bien
So you can hear me well
¿Cuantos seres vivos poblaran
How many living beings will populate
esa gota de agua que desprecias?
that drop of water you disdain?
¿Cuantas melodias puedo hallar
How many melodies can I find
en un mismo acorde esperando?
in a single chord waiting?
Matando mi vida
Killing my life
Voy dandolo todo
I'm giving it my all
A veces me escodo
Sometimes I hide away
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to escape
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to escape
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to escape
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to escape
Pero nunca logro huir
But I never manage to escape
