Violencia Lyrics in English José Madero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Violencia by José Madero from Spanish to English.
Time to change
Planned, not random
From house, from dwelling, from home
My way to love
Tomorrow instead of yesterday
Stop being a villain in my role
Change my mind
No more asking for forgiveness
No more violence to the heart
No more passion
Dance to a different beat
I head toward color
I feel that every moment
In which I live the silence
This flower withers
I feel that no matter how much I try
I keep being violent
And I hurt the heart
And I hurt the heart
I have to put out this fire
With the wind on my side
Immune to any pain
That the mirror doesn't reflect something inferior
On my word of honor
To smile at my surroundings
But that's not me
I feel that every moment
That the memory drowns me
My engine shuts down
I feel that this keeps increasing
The accent is harder
Of my heartbeat
One more day
Little by little the metal melts
Eliminate this damn bad taste from my palate
I no longer want violence when loving
Eradicate the violence when loving

SONG MEANING

Violencia is José Madero’s raw confession booth set to music. Over pulsing guitars, the Mexican singer lays out a personal battle plan: trade yesterday’s destructive habits for a kinder, brighter tomorrow. He vows to switch houses, rhythms, even the color of his life so he can silence the inner “villain” that keeps bruising his own heart. Every verse feels like a tug-of-war between the urge to change and the stubborn sparks of anger that refuse to die, painting a relatable portrait of anyone trying to break toxic patterns.

Beneath the catchy melody, the lyrics read like a self-help checklist: stop apologizing on autopilot, stamp out violence in love, and dance to a brand-new beat. Yet Madero admits the struggle is real—memories choke him, his “motor” stalls, and the metallic taste of past mistakes lingers. The song’s emotional core lies in that honest tension: transformation is possible, but it takes courage, persistence, and plenty of self-forgiveness. By the final lines, “Violencia” becomes an anthem for anyone ready to quench the fires of rage and learn how to love without collateral damage.
