They say that I have to forget you
That your love is the deadliest poison
I drank from you and it was almost fatal
They say that life doesn't end
That there are still plenty of fish in the sea
And if I swim against you I'll be able to save myself
And what do I tell this body?
That burns outside and burns inside
I see shadows
They don't let me speak
They keep telling me that you won't come back
They say that the heart breaks
They say that it heals with time
They say that this love is a suicidal act
A war where I lose
They say that it's better to leave it like that
That under the spell of your eyes I surrendered
That I walk like a blind man after you
And what do I tell this body?
That burns outside and burns inside
I see shadows
They don't let me speak
They keep telling me that you won't come back
They say that the heart breaks
They say that it heals with time
They say that this love is a suicidal act
A war where I lose
They say that the heart breaks
They say that it heals with time
They say that this love is a suicidal act
A war where I lose

SONG MEANING

“Dicen” is Cristian Castro’s dramatic confession of a love that everyone else labels toxic, yet the singer still can’t shake it off. Friends warn him that her eyes are a “conjuro,” that loving her is as risky as drinking lethal poison, and that plenty of other fish swim in the sea. Even so, he feels his body “arde por fuera y por dentro” – burning inside and out – every time he thinks of her. The chorus hammers in those outside voices (“dicen…”) telling him a broken heart can heal with time, but right now he’s trapped in a one-sided war he keeps losing.

Through vivid images of shadows, blindness, and a battlefield of emotions, the song paints the universal struggle between logic and desire. “Dicen” reminds us how hard it is to follow good advice when love turns into obsession: you know the relationship is self-destructive, yet your heart keeps fighting for it. Cristian Castro wraps that inner conflict in soaring vocals and heartfelt melodies, turning a personal heartbreak into an anthem for anyone who has ever tried – and failed – to let go of a love that hurts.
