“Manos de Tijera” turns heartbreak into vivid poetry. Camilo imagines the sky itself bursting into tears the moment his lover leaves, setting a dramatic scene for a confession filled with regret and longing. He remembers their first meeting—her hair down, his mission to make her laugh—and admits he tried to break old habits but fell short. Now he wonders if she still aches the way he does, because he can’t even breathe without her.
The title, which literally means “Scissor Hands,” hints at how abruptly love can be cut off. Camilo relives shared trips, deleted emojis, future birthdays sung by strangers, and the fear of seeing her in someone else’s arms. Through catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, he shows the bittersweet truth of love: you can’t control time’s one-way road, but you can own your feelings and say, “I’m not perfect, I’m sorry, and I still believe in what we had.”
