Also, I'm stuck on two lines in the song. If someone could help me translate them I'd appreciate it. Thanks

1. y dicen que sonar es tanto como sonar estando vivo (maybe sonar should be soñar?)
2. hacer lo que quise y no pude (I know what this means but not in the context of the song)

Answer 1

I believe the line is "vivir sin sonar es tanto como morir estando vivo" which means "living without dreaming is like dying being alive"

The chorus reads: Today I'm going to get up and I'm not going to surrender my heart to make what I've always wanted and I couldn't

In an artistic interpretation "I'm not going to give in to what has been impossible for me before."

Basically, the whole song is about determination and never giving up.
