Así Hace El Tiempo

“Así Hace El Tiempo” by Ojos Locos is a reflective and emotionally charged song that delves into the themes of time, memory, and the solace found in music. The lyrics poetically describe how time leaves behind memories, intertwining lives and experiences. The phrase “Deja recuerdos de tu vida en otras vidas” suggests a sense of continuity and the lasting impact of our actions and relationships, even as time moves forward and things change. This idea is further emphasized by the recurring line “Siempre buscando ese lado extraño de las cosas que se van,” which speaks to the human tendency to seek meaning in the transient nature of life.

The song also touches on the vulnerability and emotional struggle of saying no, as expressed in the lines “Siempre me tiembla la voz cuando te digo que no” and “Siempre me tiembla la voz cuando le digo que no.” This trembling voice symbolizes the inner conflict and the difficulty of making decisions that might hurt others or oneself. It highlights the emotional weight carried in moments of rejection or denial, making the listener empathize with the singer's plight.

A significant part of the song is the tribute to rock 'n' roll, described as “el mejor rocanrol” that provides comfort and strength when dreams are lost. This metaphor positions rock 'n' roll as a source of resilience and escape, a powerful force that helps the singer cope with life's challenges. The closing line, “Y si te juego a tu dios, no importa si gano o pierdo,” adds a philosophical layer, suggesting a sense of surrender to fate or a higher power, where the outcome is less important than the act of living and experiencing life fully.
