Verse 1
There once was a land of honey
With vermilion roofs
Where I was queen and he was the king
In a kingdom of love stories
My magic castle in the air
Shone transparent under the sun
Verse 2
Then there was that cruel storm
And the castle in the air fell
In the flash of lightning, it opened at my feet
The abyss of his heart
Then I could see him just as he was
And what I discovered shattered me
Oh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Chorus 1
My king was a stone monster
With a heart of stone
He paid for my love with stones
He broke my illusion with stones
Verse 3
I was once that faithful innocent
That believed this tale was real
And I paid so dearly for my stupidity
That I don't want to dare to dream
I don't want any more castles in the air
Nor kings that hurt without mercy
Oh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-uh-oh-oh-oh-oh
My king was a stone monster
With a heart of stone
His love was always a lie
Castles that are ruins today
Oh-oh-uh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-uh-oh-oh

SONG MEANING

“Castillos” invites us into a vivid fairy-tale world, where Amanda Miguel tells the story of a queen who once believed she lived in a sugary land of crimson rooftops and radiant love. At first, everything feels like a storybook romance: a sparkling castle in the sky, a perfect king, and sunshine everywhere. But when a sudden storm erupts, lightning exposes a shocking reality — the king is nothing more than a stone-hearted monster. The magical castle crumbles, and the sweet dream collapses into painful truth.

Through powerful imagery of castles turned to ruins and stones that bruise the heart, Amanda sings about deception, disappointment, and the hard lesson of losing innocence. The song warns us not to build castles in the air or place blind trust in people who hide their true colors. Instead, it encourages listeners to seek authentic love, refusing to be fooled by glittering façades that can shatter in an instant.
