CAOS Meaning & Lyrics (Miguel)
The songwriter dives into life’s struggles, stating, ‘Life’s cold, the cold is pain, and pain is growth.’ Miguel uses the metaphor of rain and sunshine to highlight how challenges lead to renewal. The lyrics balance vulnerability with defiance, as the performer declares, ‘I think I’m better under pressure.’
La vida es fria el frio es dolor el dolor crecimientoLife’s cold, the cold is pain, and pain is growth
Y cada semilla que creceAnd every seed that grows,
Ve llover como siempreSees the rain fall as it always does.
Vendra la lluviaThe rain will come,
Pero el sol atraviesa las nubesBut the sun breaks through the clouds.
Cuando terminaWhen it ends,
El sol atraviesa las nubesThe sun breaks through the clouds,
Y el sol atraviesa las nubesAnd the sun breaks through the clouds.
I think I’m better under pressureI think I’m better under pressure
Mejor bajo presionBetter under pressure
I’m inches from a sabotageI’m inches from a sabotage
Al borde de autosabotajeOn the edge of self-sabotage
No tengo miedo apuesto todoI’ve got no fear, I’m betting it all
All in I’ll risk it allAll in, I’ll risk it all
Shot clock space lordShot clock ‘space lord’
Fade away the Kobe clutchFade away ‘the Kobe clutch’
Y bailando entran las llamasAnd the flames come dancing in
