If meditation is failing me
I often blow up and get vertigo
If I try and you never receive
The signal
I'm flying low beneath my reputation
Forgiving you for it cost me dearly
I'll lie because you ask me to
For real
Even though it may upset you
You know that I can be
Terribly cruel
So that it doesn't lose the tension
Maybe the story got away from me
Out of my hands
I'm going to be
Terribly faithful
When the thrill passes for you
I know, it can seem
Too much
My imagination is drying up
I went too far, I put my heart in
I'll carry on while you decide
To start
In the dead hours against the wall
A shot of dissatisfaction grazed me
In the end you made it like a movie
But it hurts the same
That's universal
You know that I can be
Terribly cruel
So that it doesn't lose the tension
Maybe the story got away from me
Out of my hands
I'm going to be
Terribly faithful
When the thrill passes for you
I know, it can seem
Complicated
You know that I can be
Terribly cruel
When the thrill passes for you
I know, it can seem
Too much
Complicated

SONG MEANING

Terriblemente Cruel is Leiva’s wry confession about a love affair that feeds on extremes.

From the very first lines, the singer admits that calm habits like meditation are failing, and instead he is spiraling with vértigos and reckless honesty. He knows he can be "terriblemente cruel"—hurting his partner just enough to keep the spark alive—yet he also promises to be "terriblemente fiel" once the adrenaline fades. The lyrics move through moments of self-doubt, bruised egos, and cinematic drama, painting a portrait of a relationship that thrives on tension and contradiction. In short, it is a rock-tinged reminder that passion can be messy, thrilling, and universally painful all at once.
