"Despierto" is part of MonstruoCity - Dark Volume I, a series of songs with dark, restrained rhythms, designed to activate low energy states and accompany moments of silent tension.
A song about waking up before being ready. About the body rising even when the mind still resists. Music for early mornings, urban commutes, and states where calm and exhaustion coexist.
🎧 Recommended listening with headphones.
Letra
Verse 1
I wake up before the day gets in order
Light comes in without desire, like me
Sleep still covers me
That exact calm yesterday left behind
Verse 2
Beside me you are, breathing deeply
Unaware of the noise already rising in me
I watch you one more moment in your rest
There everything seems resolved at last
Chorus
But the body remembers
Always remembers
Need does not sleep
Never sleeps
Verse 3
I get up slowly, the floor is cold
My stomach tightens without negotiation
I dress in silence, every gesture precise
Thinking too much will not help
Chorus
But the body remembers
Always remembers
Need does not sleep
Never sleeps
Bridge
I do not think about greatness
I think about getting there
About crossing this door again
When hunger no longer commands
Verse 4
Your sleeping shape is all I have
Everything else is a price to pay
I take the keys like someone taking a sword
I do not want to go
I want to return
Outro
The door closes
And silence dictates the march
There is no glory, only returning
I cross once again
