The chorus, 'Días que nace, día que estreno, dos días menos pá morir, Ay yo no mato el tiempo,' emphasizes the artist's philosophy of cherishing each day as a new opportunity rather than a countdown to death.

The imagery of 'partículas juguetonas de mi en el salón' and 'te escribo comportamiento entre leona y león' conveys a sense of playful strength and duality. The song concludes with a call to action, 'quiero destruirlo todo, encontrar el jardín donde quedaron tus sueños adolescentes,' urging listeners to reconnect with their youthful dreams and continue fighting against the harsh realities of life.
