Antes

Gonzy's song 'Antes' delves into the complex emotions of nostalgia, regret, and longing for a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has changed over time, with both parties undergoing significant transformations. The protagonist reflects on the past, yearning for the days when their partner was deeply in love and took time to get ready for their dates. This longing is evident in lines like 'Dame otra mirada enamorada igual que la de antes,' which translates to 'Give me another loving look like before.'

The song also explores themes of personal growth and change. The partner is described as having a 'new body without scars,' symbolizing a fresh start and healing from past wounds. This transformation is juxtaposed with the protagonist's own feelings of stagnation and unchanged love, as he admits, 'Siempre serás mía desde la primera vez, y yo sigo siendo el mismo aunque tú creas que cambie,' meaning 'You will always be mine from the first time, and I am still the same even if you think I have changed.' This contrast highlights the emotional distance that has grown between them.

Cultural references to social media and modern dating are also present, with mentions of Instagram and gym routines. These elements underscore the superficial changes that can mask deeper emotional scars. The protagonist's struggle with whether to move on or hold onto the past is a central theme, encapsulated in the lines, 'No sé si superarte o no, si eres la misma de antes o no,' which means 'I don't know if I should get over you or not, if you are the same as before or not.' This internal conflict adds a layer of complexity to the song, making it a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time.
