Postales desde el Fin del Mundo Lyrics English Translation by José Madero
Rare are the times
When nothing goes wrong
Even the best things lose their shine
And just like that, uninvited
You show up
When sadness asks me to dance
Or when I look loneliness in the eyes
Everywhere I’ll see your reflection
I see you at random
When I push hard on my lower back
When her tongue is on my palate
That it’s not you, that’s my spiral
I sink a little deeper
I sink a little deeper
This is my punishment
To always have to choose
But I didn’t plan it that way
Every time I turn off the light
You show up
When I’m wandering in another city
When the mirror sees me as I wake
Everywhere I’ll see your reflection
I see you at random
When “once” turns into “a couple times”
Or when a “for now” makes it official
That it’s not you, that’s my spiral
I sink deeper
When someone new is on my couch
When I’m roaming the sea with another
Everywhere you’ll appear
I see you rise
When I beat the fear and feel capable
Of kneeling before another half
That it’s not you, that’s my spiral
I sink a little deeper
I sink a little deeper
I sink a little deeper
