Levantarse de la cama parecía un buen plan 00:19
He gastado la mañana observando a los demás 00:24
Dicen que en esta vida no se hay que comparar 00:28
Pero la tuya es tan bonita y yo me aburro en soledad 00:33
Siento que el verano ya nunca volverá 00:39
Miro fotos viejas por el Instagram 00:44
Me sigue afectando mucho el qué dirán 00:48
Quiero empezar de cero, salir de la espiral 00:53
Como un terraplanista esquivando la verdad 01:18
Me deshago en mil excusas para no quedar 01:23
Dicen que en esta vida no se hay que comparar 01:27
Pero se hace muy difícil evitar sentirme mal 01:32
Si por mi ventana saliese un poco el sol 01:38
Vería las cosas de otro color 01:43
Suspirar no hará que el viento sople en otra dirección 01:47
Necesito un cambio, desinstalar la aplicación 01:52
Siento que el verano ya nunca volverá 01:58
Miro fotos viejas por el Instagram 02:03
Me sigue afectando mucho el qué dirán 02:07
Quiero empezar de cero y salir de la espiral 02:12
Siento que el verano ya nunca volverá 02:17
Miro fotos viejas desde el sofá 02:22
Debería de hacer algo con mi ansiedad social 02:27
Vivo en un bucle de recuerdos espacio-temporal 02:31

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
Getting out of bed seemed like a good plan
I've spent the whole morning watching everyone else
They say you shouldn't compare yourself in this life
But yours is so beautiful, and I'm just bored in solitude
I feel like summer will never come back again
I look at old photos on Instagram
I'm still so affected by what people might say
I want to start from scratch, to break out of this spiral
Like a flat-earther dodging the truth
I make up a thousand excuses just to avoid going out
They say you shouldn't compare yourself in this life
But it's getting very hard to keep from feeling bad
If a little sun peeked through my window
I would see things in a different light
Sighing won't make the wind blow in a different direction
I need a change, I need to uninstall the app
I feel like summer will never come back again
I look at old photos on Instagram
I'm still so affected by what people might say
I want to start from scratch and break out of this spiral
I feel like summer will never come back again
I look at old photos from the sofa
I really should do something about my social anxiety
I'm living in a loop of time and space
