Allen Centeno | Better

We lie to convince other people, we lie to convince ourselves…

“Better” is a song of finally moving on from a past relationship… but is it though?  Lyrically, Allen declares he is now feeling better and have forgotten about the one he used to love.  The words reminisce how he faced being left alone and getting stronger from the pain.  Ironically, the song is sonically different from the proud lyrics.  Its  sad and mellow sound ends with an explosion of heartbreaking emotions cutting through the senses.

The video for “Better” also shows the contrast from music and lyrics.  On one scene, Allen is trying hard to keep a smile on his face to fight off the sadness.  On the other, he takes out his heart thinking he would be better off without it.  It is also the title track and the title for the second album

“Better”

1.

We were so glad so full of life; we had the time of our lives

I wanted you, you wanted me, I thought forever was ours

Then you said I can’t satisfy all your need

Said you wanted me out of your life

Chorus:

When you walked away, I thought I’d die soon

You were wrong ’cause I’m still living

‘Cause I’ll find someone, someone better than

Anyone of you, you’ll see

I am better without you with me

2.

I thought my world would end up bad until you came to my life

But then you fell for someone else, well, shit, that went so fast

Chorus :

When you walked away, I thought I’d die soon

You were wrong ’cause I’m still living

‘Cause I’ll find someone, someone better than

Anyone of you, you’ll see

I am better without you with me

When you walked away, I thought I’d die soon

You were wrong ’cause I’m still living

‘Cause I’ll find someone, someone better than

Anyone of you, you’ll see

I am better without you with me

Outro:

I am better without you with me

Allen Centeno | Intoxicated

The inertia of love is the only thing that makes you go forth even though you know that it is not working anymore…

 

This is Allen Centeno’s “Intoxicated”.  A song about a toxic relationship.  It tells the story of his past relationship where his ex-boyfriend cheats on him on speed dating apps like “Tinder”.  The funny thing was that his ex, even though caught in the act, thought cheating didn’t mean anything and couldn’t even realize that what he was doing was hurtful and was destroying Allen’s trust for him.

Maybe out of being a martyr, out of love or just out of mere stupidity, even after all the lies, Allen, frustrated, angry but so in love, couldn’t let go of him.  This track is the prelude of the second single “How To Forget A Fucker” where the story revolves on the difficulty on how to get over an ex even though that person broke your heart into million pieces.

 

Here are the lyrics:

Intoxicated

1.

You used to bring so much love at making me feel nice

That kind of lust was so awesome you’re making me feel right

Now you’re intoxicating, yeah

You were so blind you couldn’t see what was missing in my life

Mouth was so dry you couldn’t kiss me right, left me hanging on my side

Now you’re intoxicating, yeah

 

Chorus

You made me see what was lacking in me

You feed me poison so I can’t escape the trap that you built

I’m not naive, bitch, don’t call me “baby”

Just keep your Tinder on and maybe you’ll find just what you need

What’s up with me? I can’t seem to break free

Intoxicating, suffocating, gosh, you’re hurting my brain

Hey

 

2.

You think that I’m privileged ’cause you’re staying by my side

Like the hundred boys that you’re fucking then you look into my eyes

Now I’m intoxicated, yeah

You sound so dumb you’re so convinced what you did wasn’t so bad

But I guess that I’m just stupid I’m still falling for your lies

Now I’m intoxicated, yeah

 

Chorus

You made me see what was lacking in me

You feed me poison so I can’t escape the trap that you built

I’m not naive, bitch, don’t call me “baby”

Just keep your Tinder on and maybe you’ll find just what you need

What’s up with me? I can’t seem to break free

Intoxicating, suffocating, gosh, you’re hurting my brain

Hey

 

3.

You used to bring so much love at making me feel nice

That kind of lust was so awesome you’re making me right

Now you’re intoxicating, yeah

 

Chorus

You made me see what was lacking in me

You feed me poison so I can’t escape the trap that you built

I’m not naive, bitch, don’t call me “baby”

Just keep your Tinder on and maybe you’ll find just what you need

What’s up with me? I can’t seem to break free

Intoxicating, suffocating, gosh, you’re hurting my brain

Hey

Allen Centeno | Touch Ground

Allen Centeno - Touch Ground

Allen Centeno – Touch Ground

“I got 99 problems and bitch ain’t one.”

Touch Ground is the second single released as the album presentation. It’s actually the same title of the record.

This track is written based on life problems and frustrations. Allen absorbed his best friend’s period of emotional suffering and combined it with his. The final result is this devastatinly emotional but at the same time catchy tune perfect for your sad moments.

The background music on this page is entitled Dreams which is an interlude in the album and an intro to the song.

 

Touch Ground

I’d turn the lights out
I’d pull the trigger in my mouth
So fucked up until now
I’d go away but I’m happy here somehow
Running away won’t stop this hurt
Why do you keep on coming
When all you do is burn me down
I cannot keep on falling
‘Cause all I do is touch the ground
I’d face my demons
But I’m scared they would hurt me so bad
So caught in the darkness
But the light will overpower somehow
Running away won’t cease the pain
Why do you keep on coming
When all you do is burn me down
I cannot keep on falling
‘Cause all I do is touch the ground
It’s time to give up
But I know I’m stronger than this shit
Why do you keep on coming
When all you do is burn me down
I cannot keep on falling
‘Cause all I do is touch the ground
Why do you keep on coming
When all you do is burn me down
I cannot keep on falling
‘Cause all I do is touch the ground

Allen Centeno | Who Are You?

Allen Centeno - Who Are You?

Allen Centeno – Who Are You?

Who Are You? Allen’s very first single released in January 2015.

This was his introduction to world and the title was on point for presenting or just anticipating people if ever they asked who he is.


The song was also released on YouTube as a some sort of a lyric video. He and his team chose to include the lyrics also to cover up the weird shit happening in the video. Yes, it is weird.  But it was fun shooting it and it turns out be a simple weird video.  It’s also the first song in his debut album Touch Ground that came out three months later that year.

This song is basically about a one night stand that became a 2 year long relationship.  It’s a relationship that he regrets having because it was full of lies but it was an experience that he won’t forget.

Here are the lyrics:

Who Are You?

I am the one
To desire you
To be with me

But you were the one
Who made me
Feel so damn good

But who are you
Touching me like this
As if I’m yours

Who are you
Owning my body
I feel so damn good

This doesn’t feel
The right thing
I should be doing

But your blue eyes
Are like a trap
Swallow me down

But who are you
Touching me like this
As if I’m yours

Who are you
Owning my body
I feel so damn good

Is there a way
To get me out
From this madness
I am playing

But who are you
Touching me like this
As if I’m yours

Who are you
Owning my body
I feel so damn good

Who are you
Owning my body
I feel so damn good

Lana Del Rey gives some lust to The Weeknd

Oooh, Lana Del Rey dropped a good shit 3 weeks ago featuring The Weeknd!

I know, I know. I’m a bit too late on the trend since Lana‘s new single Lust For Life feat. The Weeknd. But hey, I’ve just created this blog! My tardiness aside, Lana is always on point on her personal styling video, music, and fashion wise.  Ohh, and that swinging dance makes me feel like I’m taken back in time when white bitches were the ones famous instead of the incredible black women singers who could belt the shit out of those white screeching.  Ok, that was supposed to be a compliment when I started typing but looking back to the past doesn’t really make me show praise to the white people treating black people like they were more talented than them.
