pesadillas — nightmares

Pesadillas translates to "nightmares". It's a vivid and emotionally charged word that immediately grabs attention, hinting at a deeper, more intense narrative within the song.

In the context of the lyrics, Lola Indigo repeatedly sings, "Tengo pesadilla' de que tĂș algĂșn dĂ­a me vas a olvidar" (I have nightmares that one day you will forget me). This reveals a profound fear of abandonment and loss, making the word central to the song's emotional core and very relatable.

Lola Indigo's "PESADILLAS" is a super emotional journey through the aftermath of a breakup, where our singer is really struggling to move on. She feels completely broken by her ex, singing, "TĂș te fuiste y me has dejado Llenita de cicatrices" [You left and left me full of scars]. Even though she's hurting, she knows she still has a powerful effect on this person, saying, "Cuando yo me acerco a ti Hago que la piel se te erice" [When I get close to you I make your skin crawl].

It's clear she was deeply in love, even dreaming of buying them a mansion! But now, she's stuck in a cycle of trying to forget them, admitting, "Para quĂ© voy a ir a buscarte Si todavĂ­a no he consegui'o olvidarte" [Why would I go look for you If I still haven't managed to forget you]. The title "PESADILLAS" [Nightmares] comes from her fear of being forgotten: "Tengo pesadilla' de que tĂș algĂșn dĂ­a Me vas a olvidar" [I have nightmares that you someday Will forget me]. She's so desperate that if her ex called, she'd drop everything: "Si tĂș me dices, 'Ven, ven, ven', y yo voy, voy, voy Se me olvida mi orgullo, se me olvida quiĂ©n soy" [If you tell me, 'Come, come, come', and I go, go, go I forget my pride, I forget who I am]. It's a really intense look at heartbreak and the struggle to let go.
