Sé Que Me Va A Dejar

Marco Antonio Solís, a renowned Mexican singer-songwriter, delves deep into the themes of regret, self-awareness, and the inevitable consequences of one's actions in his song 'Sé Que Me Va A Dejar.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is acutely aware that his partner is about to leave him. This realization is not just a moment of clarity but a painful acknowledgment of his past mistakes and the traits that have driven her away.

The song's protagonist admits to being an 'egoísta' (selfish), 'loco enfermo' (crazy sick), and 'posesivo' (possessive). These confessions highlight his understanding of the toxic behaviors that have poisoned the relationship. He describes himself as a 'perro en rabia disfrazado de paciencia' (a rabid dog disguised as patience), a powerful metaphor that underscores the destructive nature hidden beneath a facade of calm. This self-awareness, however, comes too late, as he recognizes that no amount of time or effort can undo the damage done.

The lyrics also touch on the protagonist's longing to erase his partner's memories of their time together, wishing he could 'borrarle el alma y su memoria' (erase her soul and memory). This desire to rewrite history speaks to the depth of his regret and the pain of knowing that his actions have left an indelible mark on someone he cares about. Solís masterfully captures the essence of human fallibility and the sorrow that comes with the realization that some mistakes cannot be undone.
