Remove those coffee cups

Clean those stains off the tablecloth

That it looks like there's nobody since yesterday

That the door is sealed to the wall

If she calls, tell her that I went northeast to compose

I only packed a couple pens and paper

Mm-mmm, and that if it seems alright to her

We'll talk later

Turn off the AC even if it's hot

Cover the windows so that no sun comes in

So that my scent keeps fading

That it looks like a life without color

If she asks why I've left without a goodbye

Tell her that she knows what the reason is

Mm-mmm, and that she pays attention

When her heart beats

When the heart beats

Pay the rent

First day of every month

Unhook the speakerphone

From the telephone

And change the station

That it looks like there's nobody inside

That the 12 keep blinking on the clock

That it feels like a sad sensation

I thank you, endlessly, for this favor

If she asks, tell her that I've gone to my happy place

Where autumn always changes its hue

Mmh-oh-oh, and a scar will form

With some time alone, here

And it's not a change from the root, no

And the scar will form

When the world comes to an end

mmm-mmm-mm

SONG MEANING

Nueva Inglaterra feels like a bittersweet heist movie staged inside a tiny apartment. José Madero’s narrator gives a friend an almost comical checklist: wipe the coffee stains, seal the door, unplug the phone, let the clock blink 12:00, and swear he only packed pens and paper before heading “al noreste a componer”. All these instructions work together to erase his presence so that when she comes looking, it appears nobody has been there for days—and the only answer she will find is the thumping of her own heart.

Beneath that playful secrecy lies a powerful need for distance and healing. The singer escapes to his “lugar feliz”, a symbolic New England where autumn colors keep changing, echoing the gradual shift from raw pain to a quiet scar. The song blends melancholy with hope: you can disappear for a while, let memories fade, and trust that time will stitch the wound. By turning heartbreak into a cleverly orchestrated vanishing act, Madero reminds us that sometimes the best way to move forward is to step out of sight long enough for the colors of life to return.
