Vicios Y Defectos Lyrics in English Dorian , Javiera Mena

Vicios y Defectos invites us into a nocturnal world where two lovers drop their masks and dare to show their rawest selves. The speakers ask to see each other’s vices and defects, convinced that real intimacy blossoms only after sunset. Night becomes their safe haven, a realm of stars, alchemy, and firelight where they can explore the center of the universe inside one another. Even though tiredness will eventually creep in, they are determined to stretch this magical window as far as possible, racing the dawn before the sun can split their connection in two.

Amid poetic confessions, the lyrics flash vivid urban snapshots: cars sunk in the sea, junkies circling a vacant lot, a sudden lightning strike, an emergency dash to the hospital. These chaotic images mirror the many ways life can go off the rails, highlighting how fragile their moment together really is. Yet precisely because the outside world is unpredictable, the pair cling tighter to their nighttime sanctuary. The song celebrates the imperfect, the flawed, and the temporary, reminding us that accepting someone’s darkness is often the brightest act of love.
