Tiempo Atrás

Natalia Lacunza's song 'Tiempo Atrás' delves into the themes of nostalgia and the longing for self-rediscovery. The lyrics express a deep yearning to reconnect with a past version of oneself, a time when life felt simpler and more genuine. The opening lines, 'No quiero estar / Muy lejos de aquí / Por si algo me pierdo / O me pierdo a mí,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the fear of losing oneself in the present chaos and the desire to stay close to familiar grounds.

The chorus, 'Sentir cómo nace todo tan brillante / Cuando no había nada que perder o que ganarse / Ser lo que yo era,' reflects a longing for the purity and innocence of the past. Lacunza reminisces about a time when experiences were felt deeply and authentically, without the pressures and complexities of adult life. This sentiment is further emphasized in the lines, 'Sentir cada cosa a flor de piel / Como si fuera esta vez / Como la primera vez,' where she yearns to feel emotions as intensely as she did the first time.

The song also touches on the struggle between staying in the present and the urge to escape to the past. The lines, 'Debería quedarme un poco más / O salir corriendo sin parar / Volver a encontrarme tiempo atrás,' encapsulate this internal conflict. Lacunza is torn between the need to remain in the present and the desire to run back to a time when she felt more connected to herself. This duality is a common human experience, making the song relatable to anyone who has ever felt lost or disconnected from their true self.
