Ayer

Disidente's song 'Ayer' delves into the emotional turmoil of dealing with past traumas and the struggle to move forward. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is haunted by their memories and is seeking solace in the darkness. The opening lines, 'Ayer desvanecí, aún lo puedo recordar / Empiézalo a borrar,' suggest a desire to erase the painful memories of the past. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the protagonist is trapped in a metaphorical prison devoid of color, symbolizing a life drained of joy and vibrancy.

The recurring plea, 'Oscuridad guardame,' translates to 'Darkness, guard me,' indicating a longing for the comfort of oblivion. This is further emphasized by the lines, 'Y toma mis recuerdos, toma mis defectos / Déjalo ayer,' where the protagonist is willing to surrender their memories and flaws to the past. The repetition of 'déjalo ayer' (leave it yesterday) underscores the urgency to let go of the burdens that weigh them down. The song captures the essence of battling inner demons and the yearning for a fresh start, free from the shadows of yesterday.

In the latter part of the song, the lyrics, 'Y tengo que admitir, que no puedo sostener / Si voy a tropezar,' reveal a moment of vulnerability and self-awareness. The protagonist acknowledges their inability to hold on if they are destined to stumble. The line, 'El tiempo me culpó, esta cansado de esperar / Empiézalo a evitar,' suggests that time itself has grown weary of waiting for them to heal, urging them to take action and avoid further delays. 'Ayer' is a poignant exploration of the human condition, highlighting the struggle to reconcile with the past and the hope for a brighter future.
