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 | 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
