Nada es como ayer

Motel's song 'Nada es como ayer' delves into the themes of change, distance, and the passage of time. The lyrics reflect a sense of disorientation and longing, as the narrator grapples with the reality that nothing remains the same. The opening lines, 'Nada es como ayer. Hay veces que no encuentro, No encuentro nada que decir,' set the tone for a journey through a world that feels unfamiliar and ever-changing. This sense of newness and disconnection is a central theme, highlighting the emotional turbulence that comes with change.

The song also explores the idea of distance, both physical and emotional. The narrator speaks of waiting 'a mil kilómetros' and searching for the other person 'en una bola de cristal,' suggesting a deep yearning to reconnect despite the miles that separate them. This imagery of distance is further emphasized by the recurring notion that 'el tiempo nos parezca una ilusión que nos divide,' indicating that time itself feels like a barrier. The lyrics convey a hope that, despite these obstacles, they will eventually find each other again.

Underlying these themes is a message of resilience and freedom. The repeated assurance that 'nada es como ayer' and 'somos libres' suggests a belief in the possibility of new beginnings and the strength to face the unknown. The song encourages embracing change and holding onto hope, even when the future seems uncertain. This blend of melancholy and optimism makes 'Nada es como ayer' a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the passage of time.
