Nocturnal Lyrics in English Amaral

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nocturnal by Amaral from Spanish to English.
First nocturnal rule
Don't look at me like that
I can't give you anything
There's nothing good in me
The Earth fights against the sun
And all the planets
In perfect chaos
Orbit above my head
I can't control my life
I just want to warn you
I've never had discipline
There's nothing good in me
I sense what's going to happen
The circle closes
Look, I did warn you
That's my nature
I can't control my life
I just want to warn you
I've never had discipline
There's nothing good in me
There's nothing good in me
An irrational impulse
To destroy it all
To sink you and go down
Like Red October
And lift you up again
When you've hit rock bottom
From a rough patch
Mysterious and infinite
Are the laws of chance
If you could choose
Which of them would you break
Now I can't control my life
I just want to warn you
I've never had discipline
There's nothing good in me
There's nothing good in me
Nor anything else to say

SONG MEANING

Nocturnal casts us into a restless night where the singer holds up a flashing warning sign: “I’m trouble, don’t get too close.” Through vivid images of planets spinning out of sync and the Earth battling the Sun, Amaral paints a sky-wide picture of inner chaos. The narrator confesses a lack of discipline, an irresistible urge to self-sabotage, and a sense that destiny’s “mysterious laws of chance” are always one step ahead. It is a candid, almost cinematic monologue from someone who feels caught in perpetual orbit around their own darker impulses.

Yet beneath the gloom lies a subtle spark of resilience. References to sinking like the submarine Red October and then rising again hint at a turbulent cycle: destruction followed by rebirth. The song ultimately explores the magnetic pull of self-destruction and the fragile hope of surfacing once more, inviting listeners to recognize the nocturnal corners of their own hearts while staying alert to the raw honesty of the warning offered.
