Verse 1
They wrote the rules before we spoke
Decided who we’re meant to be
They drew a map without our names
Then blamed us when we changed the streets
They say “be soft, but not too free”
Smile pretty, hide your teeth
Funny how they call it care
When all they fear is losing ground
They sell us dreams in borrowed lines
Say “be yourself”, then draw the size
They praise our wings, then cut them slow
And wonder why we learned to go
Pre-Chorus
We stopped asking for the sign
We stopped waiting for the right
If this is wrong, then we’re aligned
With every version of our mind
Chorus
Learning the art of turning it down
(turning it down)
You draw conclusions, we draw the line
(draw the line)
We read between every single sign
(every sign)
We don’t fit in, we redesign
(redesign)
With every laugh that knows too much
(knows too much)
We learned the language of don’t-touch
(don’t-touch)
Say what you want, we’re still aligned
(still aligned)
We don’t need saving, we’re doing fine
(doing fine)
You call it attitude, we call it choice
(call it choice)
You fear our calm, you fear our voice
(fear our voice)
You build your myths, we change the tone
(change the tone)
We’re not your future, we’re our own
(on our own)
Verse 2
You say love should look like this
We changed the frame, you call it risk
You like your power dressed as charm
We learned to spot it from afar
You say we’re hard to understand
Maybe we just stopped explaining
Not every silence means we’re lost
Some of them mean we’re done
You say we’re better when we wait
We say “thanks”, but it’s too late
We’re not your lesson, not your test
We’re writing better sentences
Pre-Chorus 2
We’re not here to fit the mold
We’re not here to play the role
If this is brave, if this is cold
Then watch us take control
Chorus
Learning the art of turning it down
(turning it down)
You draw conclusions, we draw the line
(draw the line)
We read between every single sign
(every sign)
We don’t fit in, we redesign
(redesign)
With every laugh that knows too much
(knows too much)
We learned the language of don’t-touch
(don’t-touch)
Say what you want, we’re still aligned
(still aligned)
We don’t need saving, we’re doing fine
(doing fine)
You call it attitude, we call it choice
(call it choice)
You fear our calm, you fear our voice
(fear our voice)
You build your myths, we change the tone
(change the tone)
We’re not your future, we’re our own
(on our own)
Bridge
You say we’re difficult to love
Maybe we’re difficult to own
You call it chaos, we call it growth
We finally learned to walk alone
You like your world in straight clean lines
We learned to bend and still survive
If this is freedom, let it show
We’re not afraid to let it go
Final Chorus
Learning the art of turning it down
You draw conclusions, we draw the line
(draw the line)
We read between every single sign
(every sign)
We don’t fit in, we redesign
(redesign)
With every laugh that knows too much

Nunca más nos tendrán.
