No, I didn't see it coming
I thought I was a specialist and I was just an apprentice
Of what life is
Today, I already know what to choose
I've hit rock bottom and it's my turn to get out
With every fall, I own the wound
You, that want to defeat me
You look me in the face, and the strong one is me
Relax, that the best is coming
After the blackout
On-off, again
This adrenaline reaches my bones
There's a revolution in my body
The protagonist doesn't swallow the story
Whoever says that at night you can't shine
Knows na-na-nothing, they'll see me dance
Because nobody, nobody
Nobody will make me cry again
After the blackout
And if I want to be alone
I fill the glass by myself
And to shut more mouths
I don't know what I'm gonna do
This engine won't cool down
Up all day
All day
You, that want to defeat me
You look me in the face, and the strong one is me
Relax, that the best is coming
After the blackout
On-off, again
This adrenaline reaches my bones
There's a revolution in my body
The protagonist doesn't swallow the story
Whoever says that at night you can't shine
Knows na-na-nothing, they'll see me dance
Because nobody, nobody
Nobody will make me cry again
After the blackout
After the blackout
On-off, again
This adrenaline reaches my bones
There's a revolution in my body
The protagonist doesn't swallow the story
After the blackout

SONG MEANING

Power cut? More like a power surge! “El Apagón” is Melody’s sparkling manifesto of resilience. The song opens in complete darkness—both literal and emotional—as she admits she “didn’t see it coming” and hit rock bottom. Yet the blackout flips her inner switch on. With pulsing “on-off” imagery and adrenaline “up to the bone,” Melody turns the lights back on herself, declaring that she is the strong one, the protagonist who refuses to swallow anyone else’s story.

From that first flicker of self-realization, the track erupts into a celebration of autonomy: filling her own glass, dancing through the night, and daring critics to watch her shine. Each beat shouts a clear message—nobody will make me cry again. In short, “El Apagón” transforms a moment of darkness into a neon-bright anthem of personal revolution, reminding us that sometimes you have to lose the power to discover your own limitless energy.
