Verse 1
Here I'm writing again
Here in my corner
Writing lyrics
Lyrics that I've been inspired by you
I don't show the pain
I put it in the music
Glasses with ice
I fill them with syrup
I consume pure codeine
To go in a creative mode
Because you left me here writing
Purely hurt guy
Wakischa, Wakischa, also Cristina
They're here by my side
One knocks me down, the other protects me
And here I am
Trying to erase your memory
Because you left my heart sick
And I don't know how I didn't see it
But you kept moving away from me
You started moving away from me
Far from the heart
And for you I wanted the best
But I'm what is best
If I'm what is best
Maybe it didn't work out
Maybe I'm the bad guy
Because I didn't answer the calls
When you needed me
I looked at the pain in your eyes
When you cried
Verse 2
I look at social media
She already has a new guy
I don't know for what reason
But now I feel very angry
It could be because I only see you with me
I'm very jealous
I don't get angry anymore, I say, what do I do?
You look better with me
I have days in my room
The motivation is gone
I don't know what happened
I followed him because of you, no, no
I don't want to forget about us
Because it was the mother, what happened?
I'll keep trying to fix this ship
That is breaking
That fell apart on us
For the day and for the second
My friends say that I should forget you
But I don't listen
They say that women are everywhere
But I prefer you
You are the right one in my life
Just so you know, I'm not confused

SONG MEANING

"Soy El Mejor" is a raw, late–night diary set to Regional Mexican guitars and melancholy melodies. Tony Loya and Ivan Cornejo invite us into the songwriter’s bedroom, where empty codeine–laced cups, swirling memories, and two ever–present muses (“la Wakischa” and “la Cristina”) fuel a storm of creativity. He pours the ache of a fresh breakup onto the page, admitting jealousy, rage, and regret while still flexing a stubborn confidence: “Porque soy lo que es mejor.” It is the sound of a wounded heart that insists on its own worth, even as it crumbles.

The song captures the push-and-pull of post-breakup emotions—nights lost to scrolling social media, friends urging him to move on, and the artist’s refusal to let go of “la indicada.” Between mournful requintos and gritty storytelling, Loya and Cornejo paint a vivid picture of a young man battling heartbreak, addiction, and ego, yet clinging to hope that the shattered “barco” of love can still be repaired. The result is an anthem for anyone who has ever tried to mask pain with bravado while secretly scribbling love-lorn lyrics in the dark.
