Como Antes (feat. Sarayma)

Indara's song 'Como Antes,' featuring Sarayma, is a poignant reflection on the changes in human relationships and societal values over time. The lyrics lament the loss of genuine connections and the simplicity of past interactions. The repeated lines 'Ya nada es como antes' (Nothing is like before) and 'No existen miradas ni cartas de amantes' (There are no glances or love letters) emphasize a deep sense of nostalgia for a time when expressions of love and friendship were more heartfelt and sincere. The song critiques the modern world's fast-paced, superficial nature, where 'te quiero' (I love you) is said with an empty heart.

The song also touches on the impact of technology and social media on personal relationships. Indara and Sarayma express a longing for the days when people would meet in person, enjoy the smell of wet earth, and feel a genuine connection without the need for online validation. The lyrics 'Y ahora parece que todo es mentira / Si no subes foto' a la' rede'' (And now it seems like everything is a lie / If you don't upload photos to social media) highlight the pressure to maintain appearances and the superficiality that often accompanies digital interactions.

Furthermore, 'Como Antes' addresses the erosion of community and neighborly bonds. The song reminisces about open doors and neighbors who felt like family, contrasting it with today's world, where ego and envy have replaced simple greetings and genuine concern for others. The lyrics 'Echo de menos la gente a sencilla / Que ayuda al amigo si puede' (I miss the simple people / Who help a friend if they can) underscore a yearning for a more supportive and authentic community. Through its heartfelt lyrics and melancholic tone, 'Como Antes' serves as a powerful reminder of the value of genuine human connections and the importance of preserving them in an increasingly disconnected world.
