Al Pasar de Las Horas

Mar De Copas' song 'Al Pasar de Las Horas' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of loss and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the absence of a loved one, using the metaphor of the sea to convey the overwhelming nature of their sorrow. The opening lines, 'Tratar de no pensar, en noches en que sin mirar encuentras sombras,' set a somber tone, suggesting an attempt to avoid confronting the painful memories that lurk in the darkness.

The imagery of a 'joven de sal' drowning in 'sus mares salados' evokes a sense of being consumed by one's own tears and sadness. This metaphor is further reinforced by the recurring mention of 'bestias' running through the narrator's mind, symbolizing the relentless and chaotic thoughts that plague them. The 'maldita luna' adds a layer of bitterness, as the moon often represents a silent witness to one's suffering.

As the song progresses, the weight of the loved one's absence becomes more palpable. The lines 'Tu presencia no está y me pesa tanto como el mar' and 'Tu presencia se va entre espuma fresca, arena y sal' illustrate how the person's absence is as heavy and inescapable as the sea itself. The final verses, 'Ya llegó el día de partir y de decirte adiós,' mark the inevitable farewell, highlighting the cruelty of separation and the lasting impact it leaves on the narrator. The song's melancholic tone and poignant metaphors capture the essence of heartache, making it a powerful exploration of love and loss.
