Picture a heart trying to beat in two places at once. Mi Segunda Vida invites us into the secret world of a man who juggles love, guilt, and temptation. Gabito Ballesteros paints a vivid scene where every perfume trace, every slip of the tongue, could expose an affair that thrills him as much as it terrifies him. He feels like “the fish that swallowed the hook,” trapped by his own desire while floundering in the net of his double life.
The lyrics unfold the tug-of-war between two “angels”: one is the wife who carries his last name and waits faithfully at home, the other is the passionate lover who counts the days until their next stolen rendezvous. Half of his life is a beautiful lie, feeding his ego yet slowly killing him, because he truly loves them both. Caught between devotion and deception, he wonders how to extinguish the emotional wildfire he started, confessing that he could not choose and would “die without them.” The song pulses with the bittersweet adrenaline of forbidden love, making listeners sway between empathy and judgment while humming along to its haunting melody.
