Fantasma translates to "ghost". It's an evocative word that immediately brings a vivid image to mind, making it memorable and interesting.
In the song, the artist uses "fantasma" to describe how a past love still lingers in their mind and home, even after eight months. They sing, "Como un fantasma aquí en la casa, sigues en mi habitación" (Like a ghost here in the house, you're still in my room), powerfully conveying the persistent, almost haunting presence of their ex-partner.
Have you ever had a breakup that just sticks with you, even months later? That's exactly what Matisse is singing about in "Todavía" [Still]. The song kicks off with the blunt truth: "Como duele el amor a veces, ya lo ves" [How love hurts sometimes, you see]. The singer is still reeling from a split that happened eight months ago, and even though time has passed, their ex is still a constant presence in their mind, "como un fantasma aquí en la casa" [like a ghost here in the house].
It's a really relatable feeling of being stuck in the past, unable to move on. The chorus, "Todavía no puedo olvidarte ni dejarte de pensar" [I still can't forget you or stop thinking about you], perfectly sums up that lingering ache. They can't stop imagining their ex coming back, even though they know it's not going to happen. It's that bittersweet hope mixed with the painful reality of having lost them "Al final de todo ahora te perdí" [In the end of everything now I lost you]. It's a beautiful, sad song about the struggle to heal from a broken heart.
