Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Términos De Mi Rendición by Bunbury from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Now that one exploits oneself

And believes that he's fulfilling himself

That strangers treat you like a friend

I used to be a colossus, now a vampire

Chorus 1

And I write

With the disorder

Of the urgency

I know that the breaking of a wave

Can't explain the whole sea

And I've given up too much in the last years

Making a total effort

For a modest result

Verse 2

I know that what is normal for the spider

Is f*cking chaos for a fly

And that it's hard to defeat

Someone who doesn't give up

Chorus 2

Today I write

With the disorder

Of the urgency

I know that the breaking of a wave

Can't explain the whole sea

And I've given up too much in the last years

Making a total effort

For a modest result

Outro

Without straying from the norm

Progress can't advance

But no pleasure seems to last long enough

If I stay here, lying in the park

I get the feeling that I don't miss anything anymore

SONG MEANING

Los Términos De Mi Rendición feels like reading the last pages of an intense diary. Australian rocker Bunbury sings about the moment when you realize you have been “exploiting” yourself, chasing recognition until you turn from a colossus into a vampire. The verses jump between urgency and calm: one wave never explains the whole sea, and one short victory never justifies years of exhaustion. With each line he admits that he has sacrificed too much energy for only “modest results,” yet he still writes, still fights, because quitting completely is harder than it looks.

The song is really a negotiation with burnout. Bunbury strings vivid images together to show how perspective changes everything: what is normal for the spider is absolute chaos for the fly. Progress demands risk, pleasure never lasts long, and true surrender means accepting that missing out is sometimes freedom. By the time he is “lying in the park,” the singer realizes that doing nothing may be the smartest move of all. In short, this track invites you to question your own definition of success, recognize the beauty in limits, and choose your own terms of surrender.
