Yesterday you saw me

You asked if I was sad

No, not at all

As if you didn't know me

Sometimes I feel

That the small things seem gigantic to me

And if the star goes out instantly

How good it is to be back here

I live on a screen

Help me understand

This invisible wall

That I think is driving me crazy

Tell me what, tell me what's happening to me

Tell me if you see me

Please, turn me off

The elephant

In here doesn't seem important

It's sitting next to me, but I feel you distant

Always counting hearts

I ask, what for?

Sometimes I feel

That the small things seem gigantic to me

And if the star goes out instantly

How good it is to be back here

I live on a screen

Help me understand

This invisible wall

That I think is driving me crazy

Tell me what, tell me what's happening to me

Tell me if you see me

Please, turn me off

I'm flying and I see the whole city

That has just opened its eyes

How good it is to be back here

I live on a screen

But now I can see

That the wall has fallen

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like you're just watching your own life on a screen? In "Apágame," Spanish artist Alvaro Soler explores this very modern feeling. He sings about being overwhelmed, where small problems feel gigantic and an "invisible wall" separates him from the world. He feels so disconnected that he desperately pleads, "Por favor, apágame," which means "Please, turn me off," asking for a break from the pressure of always being 'on'.

This feeling is fueled by things like "counting the hearts" on social media, a classic "elephant in the room" that many of us ignore. But don't worry, the song isn't all gloom! It takes a hopeful turn. By the end, Alvaro describes a breakthrough moment where the wall comes crashing down. He finally reconnects with the world and can "see the dawn" (ver el amanecer), reminding us that it's always possible to log off and find our way back to reality.
