Como Dices Tu

In 'Como Dices Tú,' Manuel Garcia delves into the introspective journey of self-reflection and longing for a past version of oneself. The song opens with the artist questioning how he was perceived by someone significant in his life, expressing a desire to be a better version of himself or to return to that idealized past self. This yearning is symbolized through the metaphor of drawing 'peces en el Sol' (fish in the sun), which evokes a sense of innocence and shared dreams that once existed between the two individuals.

The lyrics then transition to a nostalgic recollection of a special place where their love was once vibrant and powerful, likened to a hurricane that could devastate the gray city around them. This imagery highlights the intensity and passion of their past relationship, contrasting sharply with the present moment where the speaker feels disconnected and lost. The use of natural elements like the hurricane and the gray city serves to emphasize the emotional turmoil and the stark difference between past and present.

As the song progresses, Garcia paints a picture of his current state, feeling pale and a mere shadow of his former self. The metaphor of time breaking like an eggshell suggests fragility and the inevitable passage of time that has altered both his identity and his experience of love. The final lines poignantly capture the transformation of love from a source of joy to one of pain, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of change and the longing for what once was. Through 'Como Dices Tú,' Manuel Garcia masterfully conveys the universal themes of self-reflection, nostalgia, and the complex emotions tied to personal growth and lost love.
