Círculo Vicioso was the first song that gave birth to La Maldición del Ángel. It represents the beginning of everything—the first mirror where I faced my own patterns.
On May 12, 2023, Chilean artist Sery released “Círculo Vicioso,” the opening track of her concept EP La Maldición del Ángel.
This song marks the beginning of the entire story—the emotional cycle of the protagonist trapped between love, disappointment, and repetition.
Built on a raw trap foundation and accentuated by church-like bell sounds, the song evokes both the spiritual and the confessional. From the very first verse, Sery introduces the core conflict of the EP: the weight of loving too deeply and losing oneself inside that very love.
Ese hombre hoy está sufriendo por amor
Pero cuando le preguntas de mujeres todo va al dolor
Siempre fijándose en la persona equivocada
Creyendo el ladrón que todas son de su condición
Y vas hablando como si fueran todas iguales
Desde tus deseos carnales con tantas vulgaridades
Influyendo a tus amigos con carencias mentales
Sin siquiera darte cuenta que eres tú quien queda mal
Ignorando a quien te quiere de verdad
A quien desde siempre estuvo pa´ ti en tu soledad
Y cuando le preguntas otra vez él ya no quiere nada
Solo hay tiempo pa’ el dinero el material siempre va primero
Esa mujer tú le preguntas y te dice lo mismo
Pensando en el mientras le piensan sigue el mecanismo
La que si no era con él ella siempre se negaba
Mientras tanto él nunca tuvo ojos pa’ mirarla
Nunca dejaste nada claro y te entendía en todo momento
Te enojabas de la nada nunca te atreviste a dar la cara
Desaparecías por días dejando la incertidumbre
Te confiaste que te amaba y se te volvía costumbre
No quiere nada serio solo cosas del momento
Mírame a la cara y dime si valió la pena
Mientras tú mirabas a otras yo pasé noches en vela
Tuve un montón de problemas pensé que valías la pena
Nadie te querrá con esas actitudes de tormento
Me rompí en mil para estar en tu pensamiento
Y lo negué hasta el final, ocultando la verdad
Toqué fondo para darme cuenta de la realidad
Pero esta noche está pasando algo muy curioso
Estoy abriendo los ojos frente este círculo vicioso
Mientras él sufre por otras yo estoy sufriendo por él
Y atrás hay otro que parece que no va a ceder
A pesar de ver esto quiero ser siempre muy honesta
Y es que si me volviera a hablar yo volvería dispuesta
Por cada vida siempre hay una debilidad
Aunque evada completamente ver esta realidad
El cambio está en nosotros o no pararemos el dolor
Ruego a la vida podamos todos ver nuestro valor
También le agradezco que el círculo vicioso al fin explotó
Donde queremos a ese alguien quien nunca nos valoró
That man is suffering from love today,
but when you ask him about women, it all turns into pain.
Always falling for the wrong person,
believing, like a thief, that everyone shares his condition.
And you keep talking as if they were all the same —
from your carnal desires, with all your vulgar words,
influencing your friends with fragile minds,
without even realizing that you’re the one who ends up looking bad.
Ignoring the one who truly cares for you,
the one who’s always been there in your loneliness.
And when you ask him again, he doesn’t want anything anymore —
there’s only time for money; the material always comes first.
That woman — when you ask her, she says the same.
Thinking of him while thinking too much, caught in the same pattern.
She was the one who’d always say no if it wasn’t with him,
while he never had the eyes to really see her.
You never made anything clear, and she understood you every time.
You got mad out of nowhere, never dared to face things.
You disappeared for days, leaving uncertainty behind.
You took her love for granted until it became a habit.
You don’t want anything serious, just moments passing by.
Look me in the eyes and tell me — was it worth it?
While you looked at others, I spent sleepless nights.
I went through so much, thinking you were worth it.
No one will love you with those tormenting attitudes.
I broke into pieces just to stay in your thoughts.
And I denied it till the end, hiding the truth —
I hit rock bottom to finally see reality.
But tonight, something strange is happening.
I’m opening my eyes to this vicious circle.
While he suffers for others, I’m suffering for him,
and behind me there’s someone who seems he won’t give in.
Despite seeing all this, I still want to be honest —
if he talked to me again, I’d still be willing.
In every life, there’s always a weakness,
even when we try to avoid seeing the truth.
The change lies within us, or the pain won’t ever stop.
I pray that life lets us all see our true worth.
And I’m thankful — the vicious circle finally broke,
where we loved someone who never valued us.
