Como Lo Hago [English translation]

I don’t sleep anymore, I wake up every day, six in the morning

And even though I gotta get up I don’t even feel like it

Thousands talk and opine but in the end I don’t hear any of it

I’m fighting with demons, with my shadow, heck even with my pillow

And who says to me? Who teaches me? Tell me how to do it, how to be happy

Locked in my room, I’d prefer not to leave

And who says to me? Who teaches me? Tell me how to do it, how to be happy

Locked in my room, I’d prefer not to leave

It’s that never, no one has ever understood anything

Even though I laugh externally, on the inside I’m crying

When I’m alone I’m another person

Because never, has anyone ever noticed anything

That in between so much depression I’m drowning

When I’m alone I’m another person

I feel alone in my world, drinking to forget

Because every day that goes by feels the same

Laughing to not cry, the depression is real

But I’ve learned to keep things to myself

If I already have everything then I should be grateful

I feel so empty, I don’t understand

So many questions without any answer

I try to escape but I can’t find the door

Even I don’t understand me

I’m not one for lying, but I spend my life faking it

Nobody knows that inside I’m dying

‘cause they always see me laughing

And who says to me? Who teaches me? Tell me how to do it, how to be happy

Locked in my room, I’d prefer not to leave

And who says to me? Who teaches me? Tell me how to do it, how to be happy

Locked in my room, I’d prefer not to leave

Because never, has anyone ever noticed anything

That in between so much depression I’m drowning

When I’m alone I’m another person

I don’t sleep, I wake up at six AM every single day

And I gotta get out of bed but don’t feel like it

My soul hurts out of nowhere too and it’s hard for me to let everything out in order to understand what’s going on with me. I also like to get away from it all and dream of someone hugging me.

I also have to make magic out of my wounds and get up every day because I have a life to live. And I don’t give up.

Let’s normalize taking care of our emotional health. Let’s break stereotypes and stigmas. There’s always a solution.
