Reflections on Lost Love and Time in 'Quizás ya no'
Estelares' song 'Quizás ya no' delves into the themes of lost love, disillusionment, and the passage of time. The opening lines, 'Abro la puerta y veo las cosas que nunca creí una mañana en espinas,' set a melancholic tone, suggesting a realization of harsh truths that were once hidden. The imagery of 'una mañana en espinas' (a morning in thorns) evokes a sense of pain and discomfort, indicating that the speaker is coming to terms with a difficult reality. The mention of 'nunca pensé que fueras adivina' (I never thought you were a fortune teller) hints at unexpected revelations about a past relationship.
The song continues to explore the speaker's emotional journey, contrasting past excitement with present disillusionment. 'Antes me emocionaba fácilmente, ahora el vidrio se viste de humo' (I used to get excited easily, now the glass is covered in smoke) reflects a shift from youthful enthusiasm to a more jaded perspective. The line '¡Viviste diez años en otro planeta!' (You lived ten years on another planet!) suggests a sense of alienation or distance in the relationship, as if the two were living in entirely different worlds.
As the song progresses, the speaker reflects on the sacrifices made for love and the inevitable decay of certain emotions. 'Cuantas cosas cambie por tu nombre, cuantas luces se llevó el olvido' (How many things I changed for your name, how many lights were taken by oblivion) speaks to the personal changes and forgotten joys that came with the relationship. The repeated imagery of the sky, 'el cielo celeste,' and the birds flying 'cueste lo que cueste' (no matter the cost) symbolizes a longing for freedom and the persistence of life despite hardships. The closing lines, 'Quizás ya no haya nada por hacer, lo que está muerto, se ha muerto ya ves,' convey a sense of resignation and acceptance, acknowledging that some things are beyond repair and that it's time to move on.
