Verse 1

They say that life is short

And soon it will pass me by

But the hours become long

To start again

Processing that it's not me hurts like hell

But I have to endure

This goodbye isn't going to kill me

But how it's going to hurt

Imagining and going over what can't be anymore

I hate being in this story the person

That leaves to not return

Chorus 1

I will be that puzzle that is missing pieces

A vile clown with a sad face

A king without a queen, that's how you leave me

You'll be that little thorn that I'll never be able to remove

It didn't work and admitting it makes me angry

That only in dreams I can have you

Difficult to forget you

With the memory I will settle

Chorus 2

I will be that puzzle that is missing pieces

A vile clown with a sad face

A king without a queen, that's how you leave me

You'll be that little thorn that I'll never be able to remove

It didn't work and admitting it makes me angry

That only in dreams I can have you

Difficult to forget you

With the memory I will settle

SONG MEANING

“Rey Sin Reina” paints the bittersweet picture of a man grappling with a breakup that leaves him feeling incomplete. Julión Álvarez uses vivid images - a puzzle with missing pieces, a sad-faced clown, a king without his queen - to show how love’s absence can turn even the strongest into something fragile. Time seems to drag as he accepts that starting over is inevitable, and though the farewell will not kill him, it will definitely sting.

Behind the lively Regional Mexican rhythm lies a relatable confession: sometimes the hardest part of love is admitting it just didn’t work. The song captures that mix of pride, pain, and lingering hope that only exists in dreams, while reminding us that memories, however painful, can be enough to keep us moving forward.
