Intro

I have some tattoos beneath my skin

That haven't scarred over and others reincarnate

I don't feel like myself and when I see the sunset

I wanted to slow down

Verse 1

Eye of the night sky

That signals it's my turn to leave this place

It’s all light and sunshine

But it's a drag if there's nowhere to go

Chorus 1

I have some tattoos beneath my skin

That haven't scarred over and others reincarnate

I don't feel like myself and when I see the sunset

I wanted to slow down, there's plenty of time

Verse 2

Light, where were you?

I've been looking for you

A soul drifts by

I’m coming through

Chorus 2

I have some tattoos beneath my skin

That haven't scarred over and others reincarnate

I don't feel like myself and when I see the sunset

I wanted to slow down, and there's plenty of time

Chorus 3

I have some tattoos beneath my skin

That haven't scarred over and others reincarnate

I don't feel like myself and when I see the sunset

I wanted to slow down, and there's plenty of time

embole — a drag / a bore

Embole is a classic piece of Argentine slang you probably won't find in your textbook! It's used to describe something that is a total drag, a bore, or a messy, complicated situation.

In the song, Milo J sings "Pero es un embole si no hay donde ir" (But it's a drag if there's nowhere to go), perfectly capturing a feeling of aimless frustration. Learning words like this is a great way to make your Spanish sound more authentic and native to the region.

Milo J kicks off this song with a really cool idea: tattoos under the skin. He's not talking about ink. He sings, "Tengo unos tatuajes bajo de la piel / Que no cicatrizaron" [I have some tattoos under my skin / That didn't heal]. These are the emotional scars and memories that stick with us, the ones that never quite fade. This feeling makes him feel lost, like he's not himself ("No me siento propio"). Seeing the sunset makes him want to pump the brakes on life: "Quise ir más despacio" [I wanted to go slower].

Even when surrounded by good things, he feels stuck. I love the line, "Todas son luces y soles / Pero es un embole si no hay donde ir" [They are all lights and suns / But it's a drag if there's nowhere to go]. It's such a relatable feeling of being aimless. But then, there's a shift. He starts searching for hope, asking, "Luz, ¿dónde estabas?" [Light, where were you?]. The song leaves you with this sense that he's starting to find his way and become himself again.
