BUENAS NOCHES Lyrics – Quevedo

BUENAS NOCHES Lyrics Meaning

[Verso 1]
In the first verse, Quevedo reflects on his hectic life as an artist. He mentions being in a high-rise building in a city where the sun never sets, possibly symbolizing his constant hustle and the endless cycle of work. He talks about traveling to places like Toronto and New York, highlighting how his life is a whirlwind of cities and music. He’s been working on an album for six months, but the only thing he’s certain about is the album’s name. He expresses a sense of loneliness, writing “good night” to someone even though it’s already daytime where they are. He acknowledges his lack of sleep and continues working on his music, but it’s clear he feels disconnected. He promises that after finishing his album and tour, he’ll take a break, possibly going to the Maldives with the person he’s addressing. Despite his success, he feels homesick, missing his mother and close people in his life. He also expresses concern for someone close to him, asking about their university life. Through it all, he struggles with the emotional toll of being constantly on the move and feels like something is always missing.

[Estribillo]
In the chorus, Quevedo conveys his emotional struggle in relationships. He says he needs both people in his life to be happy, but it’s difficult because when one is around, the other isn’t. He’s trying to find balance but seems torn between them, feeling incomplete without either one. It shows his inner conflict about love and companionship, and he feels like neither he nor the other person can be fully themselves without the other.

[Verso 2]
In the second verse, Quevedo delves deeper into his personal struggles. He uses substances (likely cigarettes or other forms of coping) to deal with his emotions, acknowledging that he didn’t intend for his music to sound sad, but sometimes he can’t avoid being sentimental. He hints at moments of withdrawal and isolation, choosing to separate himself from people. Despite his fame and expensive lifestyle, symbolized by the mention of Rolex and designer clothes, he still feels the pressure of time. His schedule is tight, and though he enjoys performing, he dislikes traveling, especially when he’s missing someone special. He also mentions revising his music and how he’s constantly working towards perfection, but he fantasizes about finally getting a break, seeing the person he misses, and feeling at peace. Despite his longing, he knows that sleep won’t come easy, as he’ll be b0mbarded with more questions about his life.

[Estribillo]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing Quevedo’s need for balance and connection. The repetition emphasizes how lost he feels without these important people and how difficult it is to juggle his emotions and commitments. His feelings of incompleteness are central to the song, and the chorus highlights the recurring struggle in his life.

[Outro]
In the outro, Quevedo makes a simple but powerful statement—without the person he’s singing about, he doesn’t feel like himself. This line underscores the importance of the relationship in his life, and the repetition of it further emphasizes his sense of loss and emotional dependence on this person.
