Recuerdos

Las Pastillas del Abuelo's song 'Recuerdos' delves into the poignant theme of memories and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with the remnants of past promises and dreams that have faded away. The opening lines, 'Tanto que mover cuando no va mas / Tanta promesas dormidas,' suggest a sense of stagnation and unfulfilled potential, as if the protagonist is sifting through the debris of what once was.

The song takes a deeply personal turn with the mention of a loved one who has passed away, 'cuando te fuiste al cielo.' This loss seems to have left the protagonist in a state of confusion and longing, as they struggle to understand what to expect from life now. The recurring theme of 'Recuerdos lejanos' (distant memories) and 'secretos que cuando me acerco desaparencen' (secrets that disappear when I get close) highlights the elusive nature of memories and how they can fade or change over time, making it difficult to hold onto the past.

The chorus, 'vivimos distintos destino cruzando el mismo temporal,' speaks to the shared human experience of navigating life's storms, despite having different paths and destinies. This line underscores the universality of struggle and the commonality of human experiences, even when our individual journeys diverge. The song concludes with a sense of unresolved farewell, 'te falto decirme un dia / ni despedida en esta rima / mi ultima cancion,' indicating a final goodbye that was never properly said, leaving a lingering sense of incompletion and melancholy.
