CON EL TIEMPO Lyrics (English Translation) – YSY A, Chiru!, Oniria

CON EL TIEMPO (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets up the song as a conversation between the singer’s future and past selves. It hints at introspection, like two versions of himself sharing thoughts and experiences. This idea of a personal dialogue gives a reflective mood to the song, as if he’s checking in with both his younger, more naïve self and his future self who has gained wisdom and experience.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, he talks about the ups and downs of life, capturing moments that feel wild, memorable, and sometimes foolish. He’s thankful for life’s challenges (“missions”), seeing them as ways to understand and explore his soul. He remembers making resolutions to change but falling back into old patterns. His intense emotions and actions, like obsessive love and pursuing pleasure, make him feel alive, but they also take a toll. He recognizes there are “many laws but few to break,” a way of saying he feels limited by societal rules. Despite his inner battles and memories that are hard to let go, he’s constantly creating, evolving, and considering when his next project will drop. His “memory” of someone special remains vivid, showing how some experiences stick with him even as he continues to push forward.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, he reflects on the relentless passage of time. Life feels like a constant rush, and over time he’s noticed his heart “freeze,” possibly meaning he’s become a bit jaded. The rapid pace of his life has left him feeling both spoiled by success and disconnected. He questions why he’s always in a hurry, hinting at a desire to slow down and be more present.

[Verse 2]
Here, he talks about being overwhelmed by his passions and ambitions, almost feeling out of control. He admits that despite having many experiences, his “hands aren’t enough” to hold everything he loves. His sleepless nights are filled with troubling secrets, which weigh heavily on him. He notices others struggling around him, too, like people drowning in their own troubles. Some have even “betrayed their past selves,” losing sight of who they once were.

[Bridge]
The bridge expresses a kind of pride in staying true to his craft over time. Even with all the changes he’s gone through, he keeps his music “handmade,” a personal touch that keeps him grounded. The weight of the past hangs over him, but he still strives to keep his work authentic, maintaining the rawness of “Trap de Verdad” (true trap music).

[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus here reinforces the theme of time passing too quickly. He feels caught in the motion, racing from one moment to the next, and it’s exhausting. His heart feels hardened, and while he’s achieved a lot, he also feels worn down by the constant rush. It’s a loop he’s struggling to break out of.

[Post-Chorus]
In the post-chorus, he describes being in love with everything he’s passionate about, to the point that he can’t handle it all. His hands “can’t reach” everything he desires, yet he’s “surfing on claims” — possibly dealing with people’s demands or expectations. It speaks to both his ambition and the pressure of constantly wanting more, yet feeling a bit stretched thin.

[Outro]
In the outro, he grounds us in a specific moment in time: November 2nd, just days before the release of his album. There’s excitement and anticipation as he shares his process of putting the final touches on the music. He hints at the challenges of finishing the album, the late nights, and the final adjustments. The date 11/11 looms, a day he expects will be powerful, both for him and his fans. This part captures the realness of the artist’s life, balancing between creativity and deadlines, revealing a mix of pride, anxiety, and excitement for the next step in his career.
