Last night I googled

How to do

To forget

But I don't trust the internet

Better not even read it

I started writing

A mantra just in case

I can't sleep

Thinking how much I need you

I repeat it

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Just let it go, babe

There's a reason he's your ex

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Don't fall again

There's a reason he's your ex

But it doesn't work

Nothing gets better

I can lie to myself

But not to the heart

-art

It's always sad because you left

I'm gonna delete your contact

Because the mantras are pointless

Just take my phone away

Mmmm, because whenever I'm drinking

I forget that

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Just let it go, babe

There's a reason he's your ex

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Don't fall again

There's a reason he's your ex

Your tantra contradicts the mantra that tells me

That you're drama, that I calm down

I won't call you

Nor will I write you

My heart, heart, heart I want intact

Your number I already took from my contacts

I prefer zero contact

Because the mantras are pointless

Just take my phone away

Because whenever I'm drinking

I forget that

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Just let it go, babe

There's a reason he's your ex

I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you

I shouldn't call you, no

Don't fall again

There's a reason he's your ex

Mantra is a word that has been adopted into Spanish, directly from Sanskrit, and means the same as in English: a word or phrase repeated to aid concentration or meditation.

In this song, the singer tries to use a mantra to stop thinking about an ex-partner, repeating phrases like "No debo llamarte" (I shouldn't call you). However, the song humorously reveals that the mantra isn't working, especially when alcohol is involved, making it a relatable and engaging choice.

Have you ever tried to get over an ex, but your heart just won't cooperate? Matisse and Pedro Capó totally get it in their song "Mantra"! It's all about that struggle to move on, even when you know you should.

The song starts with the singer literally Googling "Cómo hacer para olvidar" [How to forget] – which is so relatable! But they don't trust the internet, so they try writing a mantra instead: "No debo llamarte, no debo llamarte" [I shouldn't call you, I shouldn't call you]. It's a funny, honest look at trying to convince yourself to let go, especially when you've had a few drinks and that resolve starts to slip. The lyrics really hit home when they say, "Puedo mentirme, pero no al cora-zón" [I can lie to myself, but not to my heart], because the heart "Siempre está triste porque te fuiste" [is always sad because you left]. It's a perfect song for anyone who's ever tried to delete an ex's number but found themselves reaching for the phone anyway!
