Ortiz tells the story of a relationship where he loses himself trying to please someone else. A key line, ‘If you loved me when I was wild, why do you want to change me?’ highlights the conflict. The performer describes nights of chaos, pills, and alcohol, but makes it clear the chaos is not worth losing his identity.
Andaba buscando que tú me quisierasI was searching for your love,
Haciendo las cosas siempre a tu maneraalways doing things exactly your way.
Siguiendo tus pasos, perdiendo mi esenciaFollowing your steps, losing my essence;
Lo siento, mi reinaI’m sorry, my queen.
No puedo adaptarme a tu ritmo de vidaI can’t adapt to your pace of life,
Pasar por mi cuerpo, dejar mil heridasletting it pass through my body, leaving a thousand wounds.
No puedo dejar de mezclar la bebidaI can’t stop mixing my drinks;
No tengo medidaI have no limits.
Me gusta el descontrol, pastillas con alcoholI like the chaos, pills with alcohol,
Las noches de terror con un final atrozthe nights of terror with a brutal end.
Me gusta el descontrol, pero contigo noI like the chaos, but not with you.
Lo siento, se acabó, tu p#ndejo no soyI’m sorry, it’s over, I’m not your fl.
No me vas a arrastrar, no me vas a ganarYou aren’t going to drag me down, you aren’t going to win.
Me borré, conectar, no me vas a pagarI erased myself to connect, you aren’t going to pay me back.
Quieres chupar, brillar, yo me salgo a tomarYou want to drink, to shine, I’m going out to get drunk,
Pero esta noche no habrá nadie que extrañarbut tonight, there will be no one left to miss.
Si loqueando me quisiste, ¿por qué me quieres cambiar?If you loved me when I was wild, why do you want to change me?
Soy el mismo, ese es mi estilo y así me voy a quedarI’m the same, that’s my style, and that’s how I’m going to stay.
Dejé a mis amigos, dejé la loqueraI left my friends behind, I left the crazy life.
Puse por encima todas tus ideasI put all your ideas above my own,
Cambié mi desmadre por puras peleastraded my wild times for endless fights
Pa’ que tú me vierasjust so you would notice me.
Nunca te importó todo lo que te dieraYou never cared about everything I gave you.
Te dejas llevar por lo que pasa afueraYou get carried away by what happens outside.
No corté semilla, no encuentro maneraI didn’t change my roots, I can’t find a way.
Lo siento, mi reinaI’m sorry, my queen.
Me gusta el descontrol, pastillas con alcoholI like the chaos, pills with alcohol.
Las noches de terror con un final atrozThe nights of terror with a brutal end.
Me gusta el descontrol, pero contigo noI like the chaos, but not with you.
Lo siento, se acabó, tu p#ndejo no soyI’m sorry, it’s over, I’m not your fl.
No me vas a arrastrar, no me vas a ganarYou aren’t going to drag me down, you aren’t going to win.
Me borré, conectar, no me vas a pagarI erased myself to connect, you aren’t going to pay me back.
Quieres chupar, brillar, yo me salgo a tomarYou want to drink, to shine, I’m going out to get drunk,
Pero esta noche no habrá nadie que extrañarbut tonight, there will be no one left to miss.
Si loqueando me quisiste, ¿por qué me quieres cambiar?If you loved me when I was wild, why do you want to change me?
Soy el mismo, ese es mi estilo y así me voy a quedarI’m the same, that’s my style, and that’s how I’m going to stay.
The meaning of ‘Discontrol’ is about reclaiming oneself after a toxic relationship. The lyrics offer a powerful reminder to stay true to who you are, even when love tries to change you.
