Ángel paints metal moons
You pluck paper flowers
Who knows what's in his head
He remained seated beyond
His confusing reality
In love with nothing
Imagine I can love you
For the duration of a story
Imagine I devour you with kisses
If you wanted
It would be the delirium of your universe
Forgive me if I lose my mind
But with you I die by fire
What can I do
And let him raise his hand
Who didn't go crazy inside
Come on and follow me, because the trace
Of loneliness is gone
Ángel sleeps alone on the sofa
And I take care of him because I know
That he hides a soul of greatness
Sometimes people don't know
Sometimes people don't understand
They judge you for being different
Imagine I can love you
For the duration of a story
Imagine I devour you with kisses
If you wanted
It would be the delirium of your universe
Forgive me if I lose my mind
But with you I die by fire
What can I do
And let him raise his hand
Who didn't go crazy inside
Come on and follow me
If you wanted
It would be the delirium of your universe
Forgive me if I lose my mind
But with you I die by fire
What can I do
And let him raise his hand
Who didn't go crazy inside
Come on and follow me, because the trace
Of loneliness is gone

deshojas — you pluck the petals off

Deshojas comes from the verb deshojar, which means to pluck or strip the leaves or petals from something. It's a more evocative and specific verb than simply

India Martínez sketches a portrait of Ángel, a man lost somewhere between dream and reality. He "pinta lunas de metal" [paints metal moons] and "deshojas flores de papel" [plucks paper flowers], "enamorado de la nada" [in love with nothing]. He sleeps alone on the sofa, and the singer watches over him because she knows he hides "un alma de grandeza" [a soul of greatness]. The chorus turns inward, imagining what it would be to love him — "el delirio de tu universo" [the delirium of your universe] — before the final verse names the real wound: "te juzgan por ser diferente" [they judge you for being different].
