Estás En Mi Pasado Lyrics in English by Ivan Cornejo

Encarcelada means 'imprisoned' or 'jailed'. It's a powerful and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.

In the song, the lyric "Encarcelada en mi mente" (imprisoned in my mind) vividly describes how the memory of a past love, despite the singer's efforts to move on, remains trapped and persistent in his thoughts. This metaphorical use of 'imprisoned' adds a deep emotional layer to the song's theme of letting go.

This song is the ultimate 'I'm moving on' anthem, but with a twist. Ivan Cornejo is telling his ex that it's completely over. He states it plainly: "Ya se cansó mi corazón / Ya no regreso ya no hay amor" (My heart got tired / I'm not coming back, there's no more love). He's found a new life partying with his friends, saying he's erasing the past "Con unos tragos y un cigarro" (With a few drinks and a cigarette).

But what makes this song so real is the conflict. He insists he's happy and achieving his goals without her, telling her "Vete ya, tú sabes que ya no te extraño" (Go away now, you know I don't miss you anymore). Then, he admits she was "veinticuatro siete / Encarcelada en mi mente" (twenty-four seven / Imprisoned in my mind). He's telling her to leave him alone while also revealing just how much space she still takes up in his head. It's a perfect picture of someone trying to convince themselves, as much as their ex, that they've truly moved on.
