[English]

Look

I don’t want to see

Aim high

I’m fine right here

A common feeling

Lack of inspiration

Resentment takes over you

Fight

Tell me why

Don’t give up

Easy to say

Sick with indifference

Lights that won’t shine

Silence won’t let you scream

You see frustration

Paths stained gray

I sense

Endings without hope

From here, I can’t see the way out

You see frustration

In a sad awakening

Empty

Search for what you can find

I’ve tried to escape

But I stay here, ohh

...

Fear

I don’t want to hear

You settle

Why ask for more?

You let life pass by

Without reasons to love

You need to know the truth

You see frustration

Paths stained gray

I sense

Endings without hope

From here, I can’t see the way out

You see frustration

In a sad awakening

Empty

Search for what you can find

I’ve tried to escape

But I stay here

...

You see frustration

Paths stained gray

I sense

Endings without hope

From here, I can’t see the way out

You see frustration

In a sad awakening

Empty

Search for what you can find

I’ve tried to escape

But I stay here

...

[Spanish]

Mira

No quiero ver

Apunta alto

Estoy bien aquí

Un sentimiento común

Falta de inspiración

El rencor se apodera de ti

Lucha

Dime por qué

No te rindas

Fácil decir

Enfermos de impasibilidad

Luces que no brillarán

El silencio no os deja gritar

Ves frustración

Caminos teñidos de gris

Presiento

Finales faltos de ilusión

Desde aquí no puedo ver la salida

Ves frustración

En un triste despertar

Vacíos

Buscad qué podéis encontrar

He intentado escapar

Pero me quedo aquí, ohh

Miedo

No quiero oír

Te conformas

¿Por qué pedir más?

Dejas la vida pasar

Sin motivos para amar

Necesitas saber la verdad

Ves frustración

Caminos teñidos de gris

Presiento

Finales faltos de ilusión

Desde aquí no puedo ver la salida

Ves frustración

En un triste despertar

Vacíos

Buscad qué podéis encontrar

He intentado escapar

Pero me quedo aquí

Ves frustración

Caminos teñidos de gris

Presiento

Finales faltos de ilusión

Desde aquí no puedo ver la salida

Ves frustración

En un triste despertar

Vacíos

Buscad qué podéis encontrar

He intentado escapar

Pero me quedo aquí

Key Grammar Structures

• No quiero ver

  ➔ Verb phrase with negation + infinitive

  ➔ The word "No" negates the action of "quiero ver" (I want to see), creating the meaning 'I don't want to see'.

• Falta de inspiración

  ➔ Compound noun structure with 'de' expressing possession or relation

  ➔ The phrase means 'lack of inspiration'; 'de' connects the abstract noun 'falta' (lack) with the thing missing 'inspiración'.

• El rencor se apodera de ti

  ➔ Reflexive verb with preposition 'de' and indirect object

  ➔ The reflexive verb 'se apodera de' means 'takes control of'; 'de ti' indicates who is controlled.

• No te rindas

  ➔ Negative command with reflexive verb (subjunctive form)

  ➔ Uses the subjunctive 'rindas' after 'no' because negative commands require the subjunctive form.

• El silencio no os deja gritar

  ➔ Double object construction with direct object omission

  ➔ The verb 'dejar' means 'to let/allow'; here, 'no os deja gritar' means 'does not let you scream'.

• Desde aquí no puedo ver la salida

  ➔ Prepositional phrase with negation and modal verb

  ➔ 'Desde aquí' sets location ('from here') and 'no puedo ver' means 'I cannot see'.

• He intentado escapar

  ➔ Present perfect with infinitive complement

  ➔ 'He intentado' (I have tried) combines with 'escapar' (to escape), forming a completed action with intent.

• Te conformas

  ➔ Reflexive verb in present indicative

  ➔ The reflexive pronoun 'te' indicates that the action 'conformar(se)' is performed on oneself: 'you settle' or 'you resign yourself'.
