I want to be a breath of air
Understand me, there's nobody like you, babe
You love me like I do
I know that I'm a bit unbearable
And nobody understands my inside, babe
You see everything in color
How do you do it?
If I've always been the last drop of the sea
If I've always been a mere breadcrumb
If I've always been the dullest grain of salt
And now we're the tallest tower in the city
Tallest in the city
We're more than what we imagine
Think of me
I always hate it when we split up
The nostalgia
I think that I'm getting used to it
I don't know if I'll be able to live barefoot
Like we used to
How do you do it?
If I've always been the last drop of the sea
If I've always been a mere breadcrumb
If I've always been the dullest grain of salt
And now we're the tallest tower in the city
Tallest in the city
How do you do it?
If I've always been the last drop of the sea
If I've always been a mere breadcrumb
If I've always been the dullest grain of salt
And now we're the tallest tower in the city
Tallest in the city
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you do it?

SONG MEANING

La Torre Más Alta De La Ciudad invites us into the mind of someone who has always felt tiny and ordinary — the “last drop of the sea,” a “crumb of bread,” the “blandest grain of salt.” Through Iñigo Quintero’s heartfelt vocals, we hear a speaker who wonders how their partner can see such vivid color in a soul that once only saw gray. Their loved one’s gaze becomes a gust of fresh air, lifting insecurities sky-high until the couple stands together as “the tallest tower in the city,” a beacon that outshines every self-doubt.

At its core, the song celebrates the transformative power of love. Quintero paints nostalgia, distance, and longing, yet keeps returning to the same marveling question: “¿Cómo lo haces?” — “How do you do it?” The answer is never spelled out, because the magic lies in the feeling itself. Love turns the smallest grain into something monumental; it teaches us to dream bigger, see brighter, and rise above the skyline we once thought capped our worth. Listen closely, and you’ll feel that rise in every chorus, elevating you right alongside the music.
