5:24 Lyrics in English Camilo

How are you supposed to live a normal life when the person who gave it meaning is gone? That is the big question Camilo wrestles with in 5:24, a heartbreak anthem that begins with a simple greeting, “¿Qué más, cómo va la vida?” and spirals into the raw confession, “¿Cuál vida?” The Colombian singer turns everyday small talk into a gut-punch, describing how his world froze the moment his partner left. Over gentle guitar and Camilo’s unmistakable voice, the lyrics paint loneliness in high-definition: therapy sessions three times a week, winter that refuses to end, and a mounting collection of shelved dreams that now need “a hard drive” to store them.

Camilo’s trademark wordplay keeps the song engaging even in its sadness. He compares himself to “an eagle without wings,” “salt that doesn’t salt,” and a “bulletproof vest that doesn’t stop bullets,” capturing the feeling of being useless without the one he loves. Even the idea of reincarnation suddenly sounds appealing, because it might offer another chance to be together. 5:24 is both cathartic and relatable, reminding listeners that missing someone is not just about the other person, it is about missing the part of yourself that left with them.
