I know that lately I resist trying
All those new things
Because suddenly I get lost
In a spiral where time doesn't pass
Verse 1
I know that lately I can't dream
I keep spinning in the same place
So much noise in my thoughts
And the full moon shines and doesn't let me go
Chorus 1
I want to wake up
And find you there, by my side
And recover
That which I lost while far from you
You come into my mind, everything is different
Verse 2
I know that lately I lose my mind
And my head can't take it
My words slowly drown
I remember your gaze and it doesn't let me go
Chorus 2
I want to wake up
And find you there, by my side
And recover
That which I lost while far from you
You come into my mind, everything is different
Stay in my mind forever
Bridge
Dreams of the past and disconnection
The trail of light in your footsteps
The cold that caresses my obsession
And the moon shines in my thoughts
Chorus 3
I want to wake up
And find you there, by my side
And recover
That which I lost while far from you
You come into my mind, everything is different

SONG MEANING

Despertar invites us into the mind of someone who feels trapped in a loop of restless nights, overthinking, and creative paralysis. Esteman paints the picture of pacing circles under a stubbornly bright full moon, unable to dream or speak freely because every thought circles back to one absent person. The singer’s world has grown noisy and motionless at the same time, as if time itself has pressed pause. Yet within that frustration glows a single, urgent desire: wake up, find you beside me, and reclaim the part of myself I lost while we were apart.

At its heart, the song is a plea for reconnection and self-recovery. The moment the loved one drifts into his thoughts, “todo es diferente,” and the static finally clears. Images of light-traced footsteps, nostalgic dreams, and the chill that fuels his obsession show how deeply this relationship colors his inner landscape. “Despertar” is both a late-night confession and a declaration of hope, reminding us that sometimes the surest way out of our own spirals is the simple, electrifying presence of someone who makes us feel whole again.
