Hace tiempo

Coque Malla's song "Hace tiempo" is a poignant exploration of longing, memory, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a cold, early morning where the streetlights are dimming, setting a melancholic tone. The protagonist reflects on a woman named Luisa, who seems distant and changed, evoking a sense of nostalgia and loss. Her tired appearance and the protagonist's reaction to her presence suggest a deep emotional connection that has been strained or altered over time.

The recurring theme of ghosts reappearing symbolizes unresolved feelings and memories that haunt the protagonist. The confusion between being awake and dreaming further emphasizes the blurred lines between past and present, reality and memory. The people around, described as scared and lifeless, represent societal pressures and the fear of truly living or confronting one's emotions. This imagery underscores the protagonist's internal struggle and desire to break free from these constraints.

As the song progresses, there is a shift from melancholy to a more hopeful tone. The protagonist finds solace and clarity in the presence of the person they long for. The imagery of eyes opening and illuminating the path signifies enlightenment and a renewed sense of purpose. The embrace and the realization of wanting to be together forever highlight the transformative power of love and connection. The song concludes with a sense of shared dreaming, suggesting that despite the challenges and ghosts of the past, there is hope and a future to be built together.
