Tóxica Lyrics in English by ASAN, KHEA
Anochece literally means "it gets dark" or "night falls." It's a common verb, but its use in this song is particularly evocative and poetic.
In the lyrics, the artist sings, "Yo quiero que reces cuando mi alma se anochece" (I want you to pray when my soul darkens). Here, "anochece" is used metaphorically to describe a state of emotional darkness, despair, or sadness, rather than just the literal end of the day. This personification of the soul makes the word stand out and adds a deeper layer of meaning to the song's exploration of a toxic relationship.
Have you ever been in a relationship that you know isn't good for you, but you just can't quit? That's exactly what ASAN and KHEA are singing about in "Tóxica"! It's all about that magnetic pull towards someone who might be a little chaotic, but you're totally hooked.
The song kicks off with the frustration of endless arguments: "Vamos a discutir lo mismo treinta y ocho veces" [We're going to argue about the same thing thirty-eight times]. But even with all the drama, there's this undeniable attraction. The singer admits, "Cuando más me alejo, más extraño que regreses" [The more I distance myself, the more I miss you coming back]. It's a wild ride of a relationship, where the person is described as a "nena malcriada" [spoiled girl] but also their "debilidad" [weakness]. They even crave the drama, saying, "Necesito sus dosis de toxicidad" [I need her doses of toxicity]. It's a super honest look at how love and obsession can get all tangled up, and sometimes, the very thing that's bad for you is exactly what you crave. It's a bop!
