Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish
chorus
How come I end up where I started?
¿Cómo es que termine donde comencé?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Como terminé donde me equivoqué?
Won′t take my eyes off the ball again
No quitaré mis ojos del balón otra vez
You reel me out then you cut the string
Me haces tambalear, luego cortas la cuerda
How come I end up where I started?
¿Cómo es que termine donde comencé?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Como terminé donde me equivoqué?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
No quitaré mis ojos del balón otra vez
First you reel me out and then you cut the string
Primero cortas la cuerda y luego me haces tambalear
verse
You used to be alright
Solías estar bien
What happened?
¿Qué sucedió?
Did the cat get your tongue?
¿El gato te comió la lengua?
Did your string come undone?
¿Se te soltó la cuerda?
One by one
Uno por uno
One by one
Uno por uno
It comes to us all
A todos nos llega
It′s as soft as your pillow
Es tan suave como tu almohada
You used to be alright
Solías estar bien
What happened?
¿Qué sucedió?
Et cetera, et cetera
Etcétera, etcétera.
Fads for whatever
Modas para lo que sea
15 steps, then a sheer drop
15 pasos, luego gotas puras
chorus
How come I end up where I started?
¿Cómo es que termine donde comencé?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Como terminé donde me equivoqué?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
No quitaré mis ojos del balón otra vez
You reel me out then you cut the string
Me haces tambalear, luego cortas la cuerda

Meaning
The track '15 Step' by Radiohead reflects on the cyclical nature of life and the feeling of being stuck in repetitive patterns or mistakes. The lyrics suggest a sense of loss of control and questioning what led to the current situation, using metaphors like being reeled in and then cut loose, symbolizing a lack of autonomy or agency.
