Desvelándome comes from the reflexive verb desvelarse, which means "to stay awake all night" or "to lose sleep". It's a very evocative word that goes beyond simply being awake.
In the song, Jay Wheeler sings, "Sigo desvelándome, pensando en nosotros" (I'm still staying up all night, thinking about us). He uses this word to express the pain of sleepless nights spent obsessing over a lost love, perfectly capturing the feeling of lovesick insomnia.
Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler is not holding back in this song. It's all about that feeling when you just can't get over someone, even when you know you should. He kicks it off by saying, "Anoche soñé contigo" [Last night I dreamed of you], and the dream was so real he woke up wanting to go right back to sleep. The problem is, he knows she's moved on: "sé que tienes a otro" [I know you have someone else]. Still, he can't stop thinking about their past and admits he hasn't found a way to move on.
He gets really specific about how much this breakup has affected him. He's not just sad; he says that since she left, "Para dormir, necesito pastillas" [To sleep, I need pills] and "Me paso borracho / Pero mi mente no te olvida" [I spend my time drunk / But my mind doesn't forget you]. It's a loop of missing her, dreaming of her, and then waking up to the painful reality. The song's chorus perfectly sums it up: "Ayer te soñé... Dolió cuando desperté" [Yesterday I dreamed of you... It hurt when I woke up].
