What it's about
The singer describes her routine: she wakes up with the sun, drinks water, reads, walks, and has dinner at the same time. Everything repeats de lunes a viernes y el fin de semana. In the bridge, very occasionally, she breaks the routine, goes with the flow, and then starts all over again.

Poetic license for the rhyme
- si hace buen clima: it is normal to say si hace buen tiempo. Clima is used here to rhyme with cima.
- estoy en la cima: means "I am at the top." Here it is just an image for the rhyme, not a usual way of saying you are punctual.
- cambio todo este asunto: sounds forced; you would rather say cambio mi rutina. It is phrased like this to rhyme with punto.
- tengo el control: filler phrase to rhyme with sol.
- mañana haré igual: it is understandable, but mañana haré lo mismo or mañana lo haré igual is more natural.
- el tiempo va veloz: this is poetic. In everyday speech people say el tiempo pasa rápido.
