Nada es como es

Alejandra Guzmán's song 'Nada es como es' delves into themes of self-discovery, transformation, and the realization that life is ever-changing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of waking up with someone, feeling a deep connection, and experiencing a sense of liberation and empowerment. The opening lines, 'Despierto con ella desnudas las dos / cierro mis ojos escucho su voz,' suggest an intimate and profound bond, possibly symbolizing a relationship or an aspect of the self that is being explored and understood more deeply.

The recurring phrase 'sé que nada es como es' (I know that nothing is as it is) highlights the central theme of the song: the acknowledgment that life is in constant flux and that our perceptions and realities are always shifting. This is further emphasized by the lines 'las luces son tan fuertes que me ciegan el camino' (the lights are so strong that they blind my path), which could symbolize the overwhelming nature of life's changes and the difficulty in seeing a clear path forward. Despite this, there is a sense of freedom and empowerment in the lyrics, as seen in 'piensa que ella es libre cuando corre contra el viento y contra el tiempo' (she thinks she is free when she runs against the wind and against time).

The song also touches on the idea of personal growth and the shedding of old identities. The lines 'ya no soy la misma la misma de ayer' (I am no longer the same, the same as yesterday) and 'va tejiendo un huracán que arrastra sin mirar atrás' (she weaves a hurricane that drags without looking back) suggest a powerful transformation and a refusal to be held back by the past. This journey of self-discovery and embracing change is encapsulated in the final lines, where the protagonist looks in the mirror and sees herself, acknowledging that 'nada es como es' and finding freedom in running against the wind and time.
