They haven't experienced
Living like I do
Not owning
It was stolen from me
I don't have my own name
I have no affiliation
My last name isn't mine
Nor my designation
And they say that it's the same
A synonym
Of antagonism
That it's already time
To dream
To be safe
And maybe
It doesn't look that much alike
It doesn't look that much alike
Let's leave everything behind
Because this plane is
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
I greet like a friend
Somebody who destroyed me
I feel very empty
Or an impostor
It seems it's Sunday
At all hours
To play
Roll the dice
And wait
I get a good hand
I get a good hand
Let's leave everything behind
Now is when
Because it's
Out of control
Out of control
Out of my control
Out of control
It doesn't look that much alike
Life is just a moment
And like vapor
I vanish without a trace
I leave without giving a reason
It's time to dream
I'm tired
To dream
That life is just a moment
Life is just a moment
Let's leave everything behind
Because this ship is already
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

SONG MEANING

Domingo De Ceniza paints a vivid picture of someone drifting through life without a clear identity, almost like a ghost in his own story. José Madero sings about feeling nameless, ownerless, and out of control, as if every day were a never-ending, gray Sunday. He greets the person who once “destroyed” him like an old friend, rolls life’s dice hoping for a better hand, and repeats that everything is “fuera de control.” Behind the melancholy beat, the song reminds us that life is fleeting (“La vida es solo un rato”), so why not dare to dream, cut loose from whatever weighs us down, and start fresh?

Instead of surrendering to gloom, the lyrics invite the listener to see chaos as a chance for reinvention. The “ashes” in the title evoke both the somber ritual of Ash Wednesday and the idea of rising from the dust. By the final chorus, the singer is ready to vanish like vapor—yet that disappearance feels less like defeat and more like liberation. In short, Madero turns an identity crisis into a poetic call to gamble on ourselves, let go of the past, and embrace the unknown with open arms.
