As It Was (Spanish Version)

Kevin & Karla's 'As It Was (Spanish Version)' delves into the emotional turmoil and irreversible changes in a relationship. The song opens with a sense of resignation, as the narrator acknowledges the force of gravity pulling them down, symbolizing the inescapable weight of their problems. The plea to 'extend your hand to me again' signifies a desperate attempt to salvage what remains, but the repeated failures and the feeling of being burned in the 'hoguera' (bonfire) highlight the pain and futility of their efforts.

The chorus emphasizes the central theme: 'El mundo de los dos no es lo mismo de antes' (The world of the two of us is not the same as before). This line captures the essence of the song, reflecting on how the relationship has fundamentally changed. The repetition of 'Antes, no. No, ya no' (Before, no. No, not anymore) underscores the finality of this transformation. The world they once shared is now unrecognizable, and there's a poignant sense of loss and disillusionment.

The second verse introduces a more personal struggle, with references to isolation and medication, hinting at mental health issues. The mention of the father calling, hoping for the narrator's well-being, adds a layer of familial concern and support. However, the repeated refrain of 'No es lo mismo de antes' (It's not the same as before) serves as a stark reminder that despite any external support, the internal change is irreversible. The song concludes with a firm decision to move on, rejecting any further discussion about what could have been and urging to leave America, symbolizing a desire for a fresh start elsewhere. This final act of letting go encapsulates the song's message of accepting change and moving forward, even when it’s painful.
